CCHEM_SURF_FILE string of 28 characters ' '

  • CCHEM_SURF_FILE: name of general (chemical) purpose ASCII input file.

Whatever the choice for the type of calculation of the emissions (either by mapping of emissions at different times CCH_EMIS=’AGGR’ or computation by SNAPs, CCH_EMIS=’SNAP’), the user needs to define :

  • how to do the translation : from the emitted chemical species that are in the inventory to the chemical species that are emitted to the atmospheric chemical scheme (that of course are usually not the same)
  • the information for the deposition scheme
    basic information on the chemical species (example : molar mass)

This translation is done in an ASCII file that contains a lot of information on the chemical schemes. This file should be done by an expert in air chemistry, that also has knowledge on the inventories.

Here is an example of this file, for only two chemical species (CO2 and CO) :
