 At the moment, all sources in the model must be of the same type, e.g. they all have to be S02 sources. You cannot have for example one SO<sub>2</sub> source and a NO<sub>x</sub> source in the model at the same time. At the moment, all sources in the model must be of the same type, e.g. they all have to be S02 sources.

-So basically, the concept is the same as for plants and soils: a two-char ID is placed in the in the Area Input file and a number of databases is used to define how this ID behaves. However, the separation between the emission rate and the definition of the type of source is a bit artificial. This might be changed in later versions. +So basically, the concept is the same as for plants and soils: a two-char ID is placed in the in the Area Input File and a number of databases is used to define how this ID behaves.
