Description of your issue or question

In the CH4 and carbon simulations, the out-of-the-box HEMCO_Config.rc file has these entries to read oil production (PRO_OIL), gas production (PRO_GAS), and coal production (PRO_COAL) emissions.

## Oil ###
#0 EDGAR7_CH4_OIL__1B2a          $ROOT/CH4/v2023-04/EDGARv7/$YYYY/v7.0_FT2021_CH4_$YYYY_PRO_OIL.0.1x0.1.nc          emi_ch4 2010-2021/1-12/1/0 C xy kg/m2/s CH4 732 1 1
0 EDGAR7_CH4_OIL__1B2a          $ROOT/CH4/v2023-04/EDGARv7/$YYYY/v7.0_FT2021_CH4_$YYYY_PRO.0.1x0.1.nc              emi_ch4 2010-2021/1-12/1/0 C xy kg/m2/s CH4 732 1 1

### Gas ###
0 EDGAR7_CH4_OIL__1B2c          $ROOT/CH4/v2023-04/EDGARv7/$YYYY/v7.0_FT2021_CH4_$YYYY_PRO_GAS.0.1x0.1.nc          emi_ch4 2010-2021/1-12/1/0 C xy kg/m2/s CH4 731 2 1

### Coal ###
0 EDGAR7_CH4_COAL__1B1a         $ROOT/CH4/v2023-04/EDGARv7/$YYYY/v7.0_FT2021_CH4_$YYYY_PRO_COAL.0.1x0.1.nc         emi_ch4 2010-2021/1-12/1/0 C xy kg/m2/s CH4 730 3 1

But in the EDGARv7 data directory, there are no PRO_OIL, PRO_GAS, PRO_COAL sectorial emissions files, just PRO:

As it turns out the entries mentioned in HEMCO_Config above are superseded by GFEI emissions, so even though the PRO_OIL, PRO_GAS, PRO_COAL files do not exist in EDGARv7, HEMCO won't try to read them.

However, the ExtData.rc.carbon template still has corresponding entries:

# --- EDGAR v7.0 ---
EDGAR7_CH4_OIL__1B2a          kg/m2/s N Y F%y4-%m2-01T00:00:00  none none  emi_ch4  ./HcoDir/CH4/v2023-04/EDGARv7/%y4/v7.0_FT2021_CH4_%y4_PRO_OIL.0.1x0.1.nc
EDGAR7_CH4_OIL__1B2c          kg/m2/s N Y F%y4-%m2-01T00:00:00  none none  emi_ch4  ./HcoDir/CH4/v2023-04/EDGARv7/%y4/v7.0_FT2021_CH4_%y4_PRO_GAS.0.1x0.1.nc
EDGAR7_CH4_COAL__1B1a         kg/m2/s N Y F%y4-%m2-01T00:00:00  none none  emi_ch4  ./HcoDir/CH4/v2023-04/EDGARv7/%y4/v7.0_FT2021_CH4_%y4_PRO_COAL.0.1x0.1.nc

and because MAPL cannot find these files, the GCHP carbon simulation crashes.

Action items:

• Update EDGAR v7 entries in HEMCO_Config.rc template files.
• Update EDGARv7 entries in the ExtData.rc.carbon template file.

Tagging @msulprizio @laestrada (as this affects the IMI as well).

[yantosca]

I should note that this is only an error for the GCHP carbon simulation. But if users attempt to disable GFEI emissions, then GCClassic simulations also will stop with an error.

Note: I have pushed a fix for this issue to PR #1992.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. If there are no updates within 7 days it will be closed. You can add the "never stale" tag to prevent the Stale bot from closing this issue.

[yantosca]

This may be a moot point since we will soon add EDGARv8 emissions.

[yantosca]

EDGARv8 has now been added into the GEOS-Chem "no-diff-to-benchmark" development stream. We can now close out this issue.
