• You will need access to the relevant MEGAN initial files, from https://www.acom.ucar.edu/wrf-chem/download.shtml
• Make sure you are still using an interactive shell ('srun -n 1 --mem=10000 --pty --x11=first -p test -t 200 bash' should be sufficient). Navigate to the MEGAN directory in the $CLIMATE_MODELS directory (or wherever you have saved your local copy of everything)
• Create a new text file called megan_bio_emiss.inp. This is your MEGAN namelist file. Note that as the README instructs, the leaf area index (lai) months requires the simulation month and the previous month such that for January (as our example here is) we have to simulate all months.   Following Following the instructions in the README, you should populate to look like follows ... with the paths obviously reflecting where your WRF + external utility directories are located.

&control
domains = 3,
start_lai_monthmnth = 1,
end_lai_monthmnth = 12,
wrf_dir = '/n/holylfs/LABS/kuang_lab/adayalu/WRF/UTILINP',
megan_dir = '/n/holylfs/LABS/kuang_lab/adayalu/WRF/MEGAN'
/

• You should be ready to run the MEGAN bio emission utility
