The municipal open waste burning emission inventory from India (OWBEII), has a resolution of 0.1° x 0.1°. The data is provided in the format latitude, longitude, CO2, CO, H2, NO, NO2, SO2, NH3, CH4, NMOC, BIGALD, BIGALK, BIGENE, C0H6, C2H4, C2H5OH, C2H6, C3H6, C3H8, CH2O,CH3CHO, CH3COCH3, CH3COCHO, CH3COOH, CH3OH, PHENOL, CRESOL, GLYALD, HYAC, ISOP, MACR, MEK, MVK, HCN, CH3CN, BENZENE, TOLUENE, XYLENES, PM25, OC, BC, PM0,HCOOH, C2H2 and HCl and is compatible with the MOZART chemistry scheme. All emissions are given in the unit tonne per year per grid cell. The latitude and longitude value given refers to the lower left (southeast) corner of the grid cell.

The emission inventory for the year 2015 is available under doi: 10.17632/546t9249bv.2
