Anthropogenic Climate Forcers Historical Emissions Analysis

[DRAFT - final version May 2024] Input data necessary to run the jupyter notebook code script located at the Anthropogenic Climate Forcer GitHub

Files include:

Final Emissions Data for major GHGs and air pollutants from Community Emissions Data System (CEDS) version v_2024_04_01. Emissions pre-1970 are from v_2021_04_21 fuel data with sector partitioning from latest version 1970 allocation.

Emissions data files by emission species (SO2, NOx, BC, OC, NH3, NMVOC,  CO, CO2, CH4, N2O), country, and sector produced by the April-01-2024 release of CEDS.

See the CEDS GitHub site for details including journal paper reference information and any known issues with this data.

 HC (CFC, HCFC) emissions data from WMO Ozone 2022 Report, HFC and HCFC emission data from EDGAR - Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research, specifically EDGAR v8.0, with other species from UNEP Ozone Depleting Substance databases]. HC emissions sectoral fractions calculated using UNFCCC AFEAS database and UNEP ODS. See HC Section for specific details.

IPCC AR6 Ch6 ouput data for effective radiative forcing (ERF) and temperture response (del_T) over the calculation time period (1750-2022)

IEA World Energy Balances 2023 data used to allocate sectoral emissions data

Species lifetime from IPCC AR6

CMIP model thermal reponse parameters from Leach et al., (2021)
