A create_omi tool has been added to the PREP subdirectory to create the OMI input file that describes total ozone column density. The file supports the inline calculation of photolysis rates. The tool also creates I/O API files for visualizing observations and the OMI file's data. Please check the README file for create_omi for more information.
The tool allows users to create an OMI data file for times beyond the period covered by the data file available in the CMAQ repository, CCTM/src/phot/inline/OMI_1979_to_2017.dat. It also allow users to create a file with a different spatial resolution than this file.
