UTM zone is not used for Lambert. The origin is the southwest corner in the lambert projection.

PS: Don't worry about the questions, They don't take that long to answer and it is better than you struggling with the model.

I promise this will be the only question I ask you today...

This is my first time running EMS in Lambert, so in the run_desc file,
the utmxorig and utmyorig are the utm coordinates of the southwest
corner of the grid or the centroid? and the utmzn is the utm zone
number of the SW corner or centroid or the zone that the majority
of the grid falls in or what?

Easting and Northing when the value of "projectn" is LAMBERT or UTM and LAT/LON when the value of projectn is GEOGRAPHIC. The units are whatever is listed in "projunit" it is either DD for decimal degrees or METERS for lambert or UTM.

The example run_desc files sent with the model should should have everything set correctly.

so are the values of utmxorig and utmyorig (at the sw corner) in the run_desc file
eastings and northings in (meters or km) or lat lon in (degrees)?
