Lurmann, F; Godden, D

This tape contains computer programs designed to preprocess stationary point source emissions data for the ELSTAR photochemical air quality simulation model. The ELSTAR model requires hydrocarbon, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide and oxides of sulfur emissions data for stationary point sources. The program converts emissions data compiled in the U.S. EPA's Emissions Inventory Subsystem (EIS) format to the format required by the ELSTAR model. The conversion process includes assignment of source data to source categories, assignment of diurnal operating characteristics, assignment of hydrocarbon emission composition profiles (in six classes) and conversion of source locations to emissions grid square indices. Major point sources are inventoried separately from minor point sources in processing...Software Description: The program is written in the Fortran programming language for implementation on a CDC 6400 computer using the Goleta 1.0 operating system. 40K bytes of core storage are required to operate the model.
