Procedure to build and run the CMAQ-DDM3D model using cb6r5 mechanism and m3dry dry deposition scheme using gnu compiler:
Step 1: Download and run the CMAQv5.5 cb6r5 benchmark case (without DDM3D) to confirm that your model run is consistent with the provided benchmark output.
If you encounter any errors, try running the model in debug mode and refer to the CMAS User Forum to determine if any issues have been reported.
Note: This benchmark is intended to demonstrate how to build and run CMAQ-DDM-3D with the provided input files:
The following control file is provided in the CCTM/scripts directory when you obtain the CMAQv5.5 code from github (step 5 below):
sensinput.2018_12NE3.dat
The above file contains the following sensitivity definition block:
PPA
EMIS
PT_EGU
SPECIES
SO2
REGION
PA
GNJ
EMIS
GRIDDED_EMIS
SPECIES
NO2, NO
REGION
NJ
END
The following gridmask file is provided with the 5.5 benchmark inputs tar file CMAQv5.4_2018_12NE3_Benchmark_2Day_Input.tar.gz. (See step 10 below.)
GRIDMASK_STATES_12NE3.nc
The instructions require the user to edit the DESID emissions control namelist file and the DESID chemical control namelist file in the BLD directory. If you want to use emission scaling (independently from ISAM or DDM3D) you will also need to edit these files.
CMAQ_Control_DESID.nml
CMAQ_Control_DESID_${MECH}.nml
Step 3 (optional): choose your compiler, and load it using the module command if it is available on your system
module avail
module load openmpi_4.0.1/gcc_9.1.0
Step 4 (optional): Install I/O API (note, this assumes you have already installed netCDF C and Fortran Libraries)
I/O APIv3.2 supports up to MXFILE3=256 open files, each with up to MXVARS3=2048. DDM-3D applications configured to calculate sensitivities to a large number of parameters may exceed this upper limit of model variables, leading to a model crash. To avoid this issue, users may use I/O API version 3.2 "large" that increases MXFILE3 to 512 and MXVARS3 to 16384. Instructions to build this version are found in Chapter 3. Note, using this ioapi-large version is NOT REQUIRED for the CMAQ-DDM Benchmark Case. If a user needs to use these larger setting for MXFILE3 and MXVAR3 to support their application, the memory requirements will be increased. If needed, this version is available as a zip file from the following address:
https://www.cmascenter.org/ioapi/download/ioapi-3.2-large-20200828.tar.gz
Otherwise, use the I/O API version available here: https://www.cmascenter.org/ioapi/download/ioapi-3.2-20200828.tar.gz
git clone -b main https://github.com/USEPA/CMAQ.git CMAQ_REPO
Build and run in a user-specified directory outside of the repository
In the top level of CMAQ_REPO, the bldit_project.csh script will automatically replicate the CMAQ folder structure and copy every build and run script out of the repository so that you may modify them freely without version control.
Edit bldit_project.csh, to modify the variable $CMAQ_HOME to identify the folder that you would like to install the CMAQ package under. For example:
set CMAQ_HOME = [your_install_path]/CMAQ_v5.5
Now execute the script.
./bldit_project.csh
Change directories to the CMAQ_HOME directory
cd [your_install_path]/CMAQ_v5.5
Step 7: Copy the bldit_cctm.csh script to a new bldit_cctm_cb6r5_m3dry_ddm.csh bldit script, and make the following edits:
Change directory to CCTM/scripts
cd CCTM/scripts
cp bldit_cctm.csh bldit_cctm_cb6r5_m3dry_ddm.csh
Modify the following option to compile CCTM with DDM3D:
set DDM3D_CCTM #> uncomment to compile CCTM with DD3D activated
./bldit_cctm_cb6r5_m3dry_ddm.csh gcc |& tee bldit_cctm_cb6r5_m3dry_ddm.log
Change directories to the build directory
cd BLD_CCTM_v55_DDM3D_gcc_cb6r5_ae7_aq_m3dry
edit the Control_DESID namelist file
gedit CMAQ_Control_DESID.nml
Add the Regions to the &Desid_RegionDef section of the control DESID namelist.
&Desid_RegionDef
Desid_Reg_nml =
! Region Label | File_Label | Variable on File
'EVERYWHERE' ,'N/A' ,'N/A',
'PA' ,'CMAQ_MASKS' , 'PA',
'NJ' ,'CMAQ_MASKS' , 'NJ',
/
edit the DESID chemical control namelist file, note please specify the mechanism or define the MECH environment variable.
#gedit CMAQ_Control_DESID_${MECH}.nml
gedit CMAQ_Control_DESID_cb6r5_ae7_aq.nml
Add the following line at the bottom of the the namelist file (before the /)
! PT_EGU Emissions Scaling reduce PT_EGU emissions in Pennsylvania by 25%. Note, to reduce the emissions by 25% we use DESID to multiply what had been 100% emissions by .75, so that the resulting emissions is reduced by 25%.
'PA' , 'PT_EGU' ,'All' ,'All' ,'All' ,.75 ,'UNIT','o',
Download the CMAQ two day reference input and output data from the CMAS Center Data Warehouse Amazon Web Services S3 Bucket: CMAQv5.4_2018_12NE3_Benchmark_2Day_Input.tar.gz and output_CCTM_v55_DDM3D_gcc_Bench_2018_12NE3_cb6r5_ae7_aq_m3dry.tar.gz. The CMAQ benchmark test case is a two day simulation for July 1-2 2018 on a 100 column x 105 row x 35 layer 12-km resolution domain over the northeast U.S that uses the cb6r5_ae7_aq mechanism and the m3dry dry deposition scheme.
Download and copy the data to $CMAQ_DATA
. Navigate to the $CMAQ_DATA
directory, unzip and untar the two day benchmark input and output files:
cd $CMAQ_DATA

Run or Submit the script to the batch queueing system
./run_cctm_Bench_2018_12NE3_cb6r5_m3dry_ddm.csh
OR (If using SLRUM)
sbatch run_cctm_Bench_2018_12NE3_cb6r5_m3dry_ddm.csh
- look for the output directory
cd ../../data/2018_12NE3_BENCH/output_CCTM_v55_DDM3D_gcc_Bench_2018_12NE3_cb6r5_ae7_aq_m3dry
If the run was successful you will see the following output
