Assistance Needed with Creating Emission Files for WRF-Chem

Dear all,

I hope this email finds you well. I am working on a WRF-Chem simulation ( opt=202) for my study area. I have a local emission inventory for this area in the NetCDF format, but I am currently facing challenges in preparing the necessary emission files for use in the model.



Specifically, I need assistance with the following:

1. Understanding the steps required to map my inventory data onto the WRF-Chem domain grid.

2. Guidance on temporal and vertical allocation of emissions, as well as speciation for compatibility with the chemical mechanism in WRF-Chem.

3. Instructions or tools for converting the processed data into the required netCDF format for WRF-Chem, including the proper structure and variables.



I would greatly appreciate any advice, documentation, or tools that could assist me in this process. If there are any specific resources or examples tailored to working with local emission inventories, they would be incredibly helpful.



Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your guidance.



Best regards,
