SMOKE Utility Programs Geofac: Mismatch in number of variable issue; Documentation needs update

[hnqtran]

Geofac checks the input INFILE for consistently in /NUMBER OF VARIABLES/ value from global attributes and the actual number of variables which has one additional variable TFLAG. This cause Geofac to crash with the following message as example:

forrtl: severe (408): fort: (2): Subscript #1 of the array VTYPESET has value 63 which is greater than the upper bound of 62

Geofac specifically looks for variable IFAC in GEOMASK file but currently there is no mention of this required variable in the SMOKE User Manual

Progress Update:

Geofac in the released SMOKE 5.0 is not functional. Even if the someone managed to get it run, no emission control factor was applied to the input gridded emission and the output file is essentially identical to the input file.

Modifications were made to Geofac with bugfix and additional features. New documentation has been developed:
