8.6.7. Biogenic Modeling (BEIS3)

Biogenic processing in SMOKE is very different from the processing of the anthropogenic sources. SMOKE currently uses the BEIS version 3 model to process biogenic emissions. First, the Normbeis3 program reads in the gridded land use data. Next, the Tmpbeis3 program creates the hourly emissions. These files are then merged together in the same way as the anthropogenic sources (see Section 5.6.10).
