In-line Plume Rise Approach in CMAQ Support

SMOKEv2.5 suppors in-line plume rises approach available in the latest versoin CMAQ 4.7 to reduce the size of "traditional" 3-D model-ready file.

BEIS Version 3.14

Biogenic Emission Inventory System (BEIS) model version 3.14 in SMOKEv2.5 includes the sesquiterpene emission factors in NORMBEI3 and the estimation of sesquiterpene emission in TMPBEIS3 including 34 species/compounds based on last year BEIS3.13.

SMOKE version 2.5 release

The Institute for the Environment, in cooperation with the U.S. EPA, is pleased to announce the release of SMOKE version 2.5

SMOKEv2.5 supports in-line plume rise approach in CMAQ 4.7 and Biogenic Emission Inventory System (BEIS) model version 3.14 for generating gridded, hourly emissions in a format consistent for air quality modeling, and includes enhancements and bug fixes relative to SMOKE version 2.4

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. Email us to learn more about the CMAS SMOKE training program.
