[FEATURE REQUEST] Error checking for masks that extend beyond cropped grid domains #187

Open yantosca opened 1 year ago

yantosca commented 1 year ago

@jennyfisher and @smm997 discovered that if the mask boundaries in HEMCO_Config.rc extend beyond the simulation domain (especially for cropped grids) then HEMCO can potentially interpret regional emissions as global emissions. See the writeup in issue in https://github.com/geoschem/geos-chem/issues/1596.

We have since added documentation of this potential error to the HEMCO user's guide to alert users to this issue. However, we should also implement an error check into a future version of HEMCO to avoid this situation entirely.
