Figure 6.8, “Movesmrg input and output files” shows the input and output files for the Movesmrg program. The input files are the country, state, and county codes file (COSTCY), the grid description file (GRIDDESC), the inventory data table (INVTABLE), the representative county fuel month file (MFMREF), the list of emission process and associated pollutants file (MEPROC), the representative county cross-reference file (MCXREF), the list of emission factors files by representative county file (MRCLIST), the meteorology files (MET_CRO_2D), the gridding matrix from Grdmat (MGMAT), the inventory file output from Smkinven (MOBL), the speciation matrix from Spcmat (MSMAT_L or MSMAT_S), the Met4moves output file for SMOKE (METMOVES =SMOKE_OUTFILE), the MOVES-based lookup tables (RPD, RPV, and RPP), and the daily hour VMT files from Temporal (MTMP_(day)). Note that MET_CRO_2D, METMOVES, and MTMP_(day) are optional files that are included only in certain situations.
Movesmrg outputs a model-ready emissions file MGTS_L or MGTS_S, a report file REPMGTS_S, and a log file LOGFILE.
When using source apportionment (see Section 4.4.23, “Generating CMAQ-ready Source Apportionment Input Data Files”), Movesmrg will also read the source grouping file (SOURCE_GROUPS) and output the source group information SRCGROUPS_OUT, the emissions for each source group SGINLNTS_L or SGINLNTS_S, and a source group report file SRCGRP_REPORT.
