2.3.3. Inventory file formats
SMOKE supports a variety of inventory formats for criteria, particulate, toxics, and activity data inventories,
which are described in detail in Section 8.2, “Inventory Files” [349]. Here, we provide a brief introduction
to these formats, which will be helpful as you read more about SMOKE in the remainder of this chapter
and the chapters before Chapter 8, SMOKE Input Files [343]. All formats described here are text files. To
convert your data to these formats, the best approach is to use a database or spreadsheet program to reformat
and output the data in the requested format. There is not a standard format-conversion method that comes
with SMOKE.
In the following paragraphs, we describe the formats available for nonpoint/stationary area, nonroad mobile,
on-road mobile, point, and point-wildfire sources.
• Nonpoint/stationary area sources: SMOKE supports two formats for nonpoint/stationary area sources.
The ORL and FF10 (Flat File 10) format are list directed (comma or semicolon delimited) and these
file formats may be used to represent many different sources. The header of the file indicates what
source data are in the file.
• Nonroad mobile sources: There are three available inventory formats for nonroad mobile sources.
The FF10 (Flat File 10) format is list directed (comma or semicolon delimeted) and the header of the
file is used to indicate the nonroad mobile source data is within the file.
• On-road mobile sources: The Flat File 10 (FF10) format is list directed (comma or semicolon delimited)
and contains activity inventory such as VMT, speed, and vehicle population data. This format requires
VMT, SPEED, and VPOP inventory data.
• Point sources: SMOKE has formats for annual or average-day inventories, for day-specific inventories,
and for hour-specific inventories. For annual or average-day inventories, the ORL and FF10 formats
can be used for criteria, particulate, and toxics inventories. Finally, the CEM data format can be used
for day-specific or hour-specific data : SMOKE uses the ORIS codes and boiler codes in the annual
inventory files to match sources from the CEM data files.
• Wildfire sources: There are two approches available that you can provide wildfire data that are being
treated as point sources to SMOKE using the ORL and FF10 point-source formats.
• Precomputed plume rise approach: Certain fields must be left blank (such as stack parameters)
because they do not apply to wildfire sources. When using wildfire data provided as point sources,
you must also provide day-specific or hour-specific wildfire emissions and hour-specific precomputed
plume rise using the FF10 day-specific and hour-specific formats.
• Internal plume rise calculation approach: Requires two separate inventory files that are provided
in a modified ORL format: (1) a list of fires with fire-specific characteristics including
county/state/county, fire identification, location coordinate, fire name, SCC and others, as described
in Section 8.2.8.3, “ORL FIRE Format” [381], and (2) a day-specific fire data including size of area
burned, fuel loading, and star/end hour of fire (Section 8.2.6.2, “ORL FIREEMIS Emission
Format” [366]). Unlike the approach listed above, this approach internally estimates the plume rise
using the size of the area burned and fuel loading, and it adjusts temporal profiles using the start
and end hours of the fire. See detail at Section 4.4.17, “Plume Rise Calculation for Fires” [161]
2.3.4. Country, state, and county codes
SMOKE uses a 6-digit integer code to identify a country, state (or province), and county (or other region)
for a particular source. Most U.S. inventories input to SMOKE have the 5-digit U.S. Federal Implementation
Planning Standards (FIPS) state and county codes. All inventory input formats have been adapted to include
a special header record with which you can specify the country, effectively allowing the inventories to be
provided with the 6-digit code that SMOKE uses. The 6-digit system was designed for use in the United
