Using a new inventory in ExtData.rc

Hi GCST,

I'm trying to use the hourly NEI 2011 version in GCHP 14.3.1. As it is not default in GCHP 14.3.1, I guess I need to update both HEMCO_Config.rc and ExtData.rc.

For example, I have one item in HEMCO_Config.rc:

0 NEI11_SURFACE_NO ./NEI2011/v2015-03/$MM/NEI11_0.1x0.1_2011$MM$DD.nc NO 2011-2021/1-12/1-31/* C xy kg/m2/s NO 2501/1007 1 50

Could you help to show me how should I update the corresponding item in ExtData.rc following the below format? "Export Name Units Clim Conservative Refresh Time Template Offset Scale External file variable External file template"

I'm not so sure about it, especially for the refresh Time Template.

I'm also confused why we need both ExtData.rc and HEMCO_Config.rc to control the input for HEMCO. What are their responsibilities respectively?

Thanks, Yanshun
