Speciation Tool 5.0 Release Notes
• Creates chemical speciation profiles needed to convert emission inventory pollutants (e.g., VOC, PM2.5) to model species for air quality modeling (e.g., using CMAQ and CAMx)
• Outputs the chemical speciation profiles in formats used by SMOKE (i.e., GSPRO and GSCNV files)
• Includes chemical speciation data from the EPA SPECIATE 5.0 database (https://www.epa.gov/air-emissions-modeling/speciate/)
• Includes VOC mechanism mappings for several gas-phase mechanisms, namely CB6, CB05, SAPRC07T, CRI and RACM2, as implemented in CMAQ and CAMx. See Table 1 of User's Guide for a complete list and details of supported chemical mechanisms
• VOC mechanism mappings consider volatility to determine whether each compound is mapped to reactive model species (e.g. CB6) or intermediate-volatility model species (IVOC) or non-volatile model species (NVOL)
• Optionally maps IVOC and NVOL compounds to the CMAQ Volatility Basis Set (VBS) scheme
• Includes mappings of primary PM2.5 and PM10 to the CMAQ (AE6 and AE7) and CAMx (CF2) aerosol schemes
• Can create CMAQ AE6 speciation profiles from raw PM2.5 profiles in SPECIATE
