Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) support
SMOKEv2.4 includes several enhancements to support the simulation of emissions sources of toxic pollutants.
Inventory Import
Smkinven has an improved version of the SMKINVEN_FORMULA option that supports multiple formulas.
Updated Smkinven now can read pollutant names up to 16 characters to support Chemical Abstracts Services (CAS) codes. The enhancement allows for HAPs to be included in day-specific (PTDAY) and hour-specific (PTHOUR) emission inventories.
Speciation
Enhanced Spcmat to skip applying a speciation cross-reference entry for sources with zero emissions.
Updated Spcmat to correctly handle the applicaion of ROG to TOG conversions for multiple pollutants (e.g., both VOC and NONHAPVOC).
Growth and Controls
Enhanced Cntlmat to detect whether controls factors from a given packet were applied to an inventory before it was input to SMOKE.
Updated Grwinven to correctly write out the CEFF, RPEN, or REFF values to an IDA or ORL projected inventory file.
BEIS Version 3.13
Biogenic Emission Inventory System (BEIS) model version 3.13 is integrated in SMOKEv2.4 for generating gridded, hourly emissions in a format consistent for air quality modeling. BEIS 3.13 revises the parameterizations that account for the effects of leaf temperature and solar radiation on emissions.

SMOKE version 2.4 release
The Institute for the Environment, in cooperation with
the U.S. EPA, is pleased to announce the release of SMOKE version
2.4
SMOKEv2.4 includes enhancements and bug fixes relative
to SMOKEv2.3.4. SMOKEv2.4 integrates the latest Biogenic
Emission Inventory System (BEIS) model version 3.13
for generating gridded, hourly emissions in a format
consistent for air quality modeling. SMOKEv2.4 is also
now compatible with the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA)'s Emission Modeling and Dispersion Modeling System
(EDMS) used to estimate emissions from airports. See
the release
notes and documentation for
SMOKEv2.4 for additional information.
Special SMOKE Training for Environment Canada
CMAS trainers held a special training session at the CMAS
Center offices in March, 2007 to teach SMOKE to emissions modelers from
Environment Canada.
