GOCART Aerosol and CO Emissions

  • CMIP5 anthropogenic and biomass burning emissions of CO, BC, OC, and SO2

    • http://cmip-pcmdi.llnl.gov/cmip5/
  • 0.5 degree resolution
  • Emission data downloaded from:
ftp://ftp-ipcc.fz-juelich.de/pub/emissions/gridded_netcdf/tarfiles/

and processed for GOCART

  • CMIP5 provides monthly emissions for each decade. For historic emissions, the CMIP-provided anthropogenic and aircraft emissions represent the 1st year of the decade, while ship emissions represent the 5th year of the decade and biomass burning is a decadal average (see IPCC_AR5_historic_emission_and_scenario_data_for_chemistry_simulation.pdf, available from the Juelich ftp site, for details). We interpolate between decades for each source for each month to create a monthly file for each year.
  • Future emissions are based on the RCP4.5 scenario.
  • CMIP5 anthropogenic emissions are broken down by source category. We treat the “agricultural waste burning” category as the biofuel input for GOCART, and sum the other anthropogenic categories for the anthropogenic input. Ship and aircraft emissions are input separately.
  • Oxidant concentrations are fixed at modern values
  • SO4 ship emissions for GOCART based on CMIP SO2 ship emissions, scaled by the SO4/SO2 ratio from Edgar
  • We convert CMIP5 aircraft BC emissions to fuel emissions for GOCART using the altitude-dependent emission ratios from Aerocom, which are based on Döpelheuer’s thesis (2002). See readme_aerocom_aircraft.docx for more information. We then regrid the aircraft data to 72 GEOS5 vertical levels.
