Emission preparation for WRF-GHG

[mriganka biswas]

Dear all,

I need to run WRH-GHG over the Indian domain. I am confused regarding the emission preparation for WRF-GHG. 

Can someone please guide me with this?

Thanks

Hello,

It is best to post your question at the WRF help forum, but maybe first review the WRF-Chem user guide. This email group is for supporting the MOZART chemistry suite configurations of WRF-Chem and the NCAR pre-processing tools.

Dear all,

I have used WRF-Chem earlier and have prepared the mission files using the anthro_emis tool. 

Currently, I am following the WRF-GHG documentation from https://data.aeronomie.be/dataset/wrf-ghg-user-guide .

However, the following line is from the same documentation:

'There are several tools made
available in the WRF-Chem user community that may be used for this purpose: prep chem sources,
convert emis, anthro emiss etc. However, the suitability of these tools might vary among the choice
of your domain and chemical mechanism. In my personal experience, these programs haven’t
proven to be the most efficient for WRF-GHG simulations. '

Hence, my questions are:

1. Is there any alternate tool available specifically for WRF-GHG?

2. I found a Python library  https://github.com/rnoeliab/WRF-GHG-Prepy on GitHub, but I'm not sure if it serves the purpose or not. Any comments?

3. For the anthro_emis tool, a sample namelist script is provided from WRF-Chem. Is there any such sample namelist script available for WRF-GHG using anthro_emis? 

Thanks

Hello Mriganka,

Again, it is best to post your question at the WRF help forum to hopefully reach a broader audience who could help you. Our group at NCAR does not have experience running the WRF-GHG configuration.
