Create SMOKE-ready files (ems95 and ida) for use in SMOKE-CMAQ

Description

This takes fully processed hourly files, including PM2.5 emissions and plume top estimations and produces the files needed for the SMOKE preprocessor for CMAQ. This includes estimating emissions of other species (PM10, CO, NH3, NOX, SO2, VOC) based on emission ratios to PM2.5, estimated from BlueSky output. The PM2.5 emissions are assumed to be in kg, which is what is produced by feer_emissions.

Usage

output_SMOKE(fires, path)

Arguments

fires	data frame of hourly fire emissions as produced by feer_emissions
path	output path for files

Details

See this thread for some useful information on the formats, including strange required quirks. PTOP and PBOT are in meters, emissions are in short tons, LAY1F cannot be zero, and PTOP > PBOT.

Value

data frame of hourly fire emissions converted to units required by SMOKE. As a side effect, writes the ida and ems95 files to the specified path.
