EDGAR v5.0 emissions inventory speciated for the MOZART chemical mechanism

Emission inventories need to be adapted to be used in chemical transport models (CTMs). They usually need ad-hoc preprocessing based on the chemical mechanism used in the CTM, including speciation of non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs). <strong>Here we provide monthly EDGAR v5.0 global air pollutant emissions for the year 2015, speciated for the MOZART chemical mechanism.</strong> <strong>The dataset is also ready to use in WRF-Chem atmospheric model with MOZART-MOSAIC options.</strong> Emission files are provided as individual NetCDF files for each pollutant containing anthropogenic sector emissions as individual variables. In the folder you will find: <strong>edgarv5_MOZART_data.tar.gz</strong>: EDGAR v5.0 monthly emissions for the year 2015 (NetCDFformat), speciated for MOZART chemical mechanism. Both total and individual sector emissions are included in each file. <strong>edgarv5_MOZART_MOSAIC.inp</strong>: Input file for anthroemiss preprocessing tool for MOZART-MOSAIC options in WRF-Chem. <strong>technical_note_EDGARv5_MOZART.pdf </strong>: documentation. These files are also ready-to be used in WRF-Chem anthro-emiss preprocessing tool with the MOZART-MOSAIC options. Accompanying code for preparing the dataset can be found at repository: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6145846 For more detail, please refer to the technical documentation (technical_note_EDGARv5_MOZART.pdf).
