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). 

Here we provide monthly EDGAR v5.0  global  air  pollutant  emissions  for  the  year  2015,  speciated  for  the  MOZART  chemical mechanism.

The dataset is also ready to use in WRF-Chem atmospheric model with MOZART-MOSAIC options.

Emission files are provided as individual NetCDF files for each pollutant containing anthropogenic sector emissions as individual variables.

In the folder you will find:

edgarv5_MOZART_data.tar.gz:  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. 

edgarv5_MOZART_MOSAIC.inp:  Input file for anthroemiss preprocessing tool for MOZART-MOSAIC options in WRF-Chem.

technical_note_EDGARv5_MOZART.pdf : 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
