FluTE Synthetic Ecosystems for USA

Data files

A set of 3 data files needs to be in the same directory as the
executable to specify a population for FluTE. The file names consist of
a prefix (e.g., "seattle") followed by a suffix.

*-tracts.dat - Tract populations and locations, from
http://www.census.gov/geo/www/cenpop/cntpop2k.html. The columns in
this comma-delimited file are: state FIPS code, county FIPS code,
tract FIPS code, tract population, tract longitude, and tract
latitude.

*-wf.dat - Tract-to-tract workerflow, extracted from stp64.us from
Census 2000 Special Tabulation Product 64: Census tract of work by
census tract of residence 2000. For the US-level data. Commutes over
100 miles were eliminated from the data. The columns in this space-
delimited file are: home state FIPS code, home county FIPS code, home
tract FIPS code, work state FIPS code, work county FIPS code, work
tract FIPS code, and number of workers.

*-employment.dat - The number of employed working-age adults and the
total number of working-age adults, from the Census Summary File 3
(SF3, Table PCT35). The columns in this space-delimited file are:
state FIPS code, county FIPS code, tract FIPS code, number of employed
20-64 year olds, and the total number of working-age individuals
(19-64 year olds).

This sample population is:

usa - The continental United States, based on the 2000 US Census. Note
that the "wf" files are split into 49 separate files, one for each
state and one for Washington, D.C. The wf file would be too large as a
single file. When mpiflute does not find "usa-wf.dat", it looks for
"usa-wf-?.dat", where "?" is the state FIPS code(s) of the population
on the processor.
