CAMS-REG-TEMPOv3.2

The CAMS REGional TEMPOral (CAMS-REG-TEMPO) dataset consists of a collection of European regional temporal factors that follow the domain description (resolution and geographical area covered) and sector classification reported by the CAMS-REG-AP emission inventory. The dataset includes monthly, weekly, daily (day-of-the-year) and hourly temporal profiles for the priority air pollutants. Depending on the pollutant source and temporal resolution (i.e., monthly, weekly, daily, hourly), the resulting profiles are reported as spatially invariant (i.e., a unique set of temporal weights for all the domain) or spatially variant (i.e., temporal weights vary per grid cell or country). Similarly, depending on the characteristics of the input data used and approaches to compute the profiles, these can be yearly dependent and/or pollutant dependent. Multiple sources of information – including energy statistics and measured activity data, among others – and meteorology-dependent parametrizations (e.g., heating degree day approach) have been collected, processed and used to construct the profiles. A detailed description of the datasets and parametrization considered is available in Guevara et al., (2021).
