Mechanistic Module for Soil Nitrogen Emissions for CMAQ Model, North America, 2011

Published by ORNL_DAAC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: February 21, 2026 | Last Modified: 2026-02-17
This model product provides source code, input data files, and example model outputs for a new mechanistic soil nitrogen (N) module in-line with the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model 5.1 to simulate nitric oxide (NO), nitrous acid (HONO), nitrous oxide (N2O), and ammonia (NH3) soil emissions. The modeling domain covers the continental USA plus portions of northern Mexico and southern Canada, extending from 25 degrees north to 52 degrees north.The simulations use a 12-km spatial grid resolution. Input data are from high-quality reference sources for year 2011. Example model output data are provided for one day, April 21, 2011.
