AeroCom hindcast aerosol emissions

The AEROCOM hindcast source files have been prepared by Thomas Diehl, NASA Goddard, and colleagues.

See for details on authorship and where to retrieve the files the README file

Emission files are stored here: http://www-lscedods.cea.fr/aerocom/AEROCOM_HC/ or are accessible via the AeroCom server

IPCC AR5 emissions

The 5th assessment report has generated a joint effort for a new set of emissions prepared for historic anthropogenic emissions consistent for aerosols and reactive gases, prepared by JF Lamarque and colleagues. Please contact Jean Francois Lamarque (lamar AT ucar.edu) to get further release notes.

Recent release notes can be found here: Version explanations file

Emission files are stored here:

AeroCom aerosol emissions

The AEROCOM source files have been prepared by Frank Dentener, JRC, and colleagues and can be downloaded via the download site at the Max Planck Institut in Hamburg: ZMAW - ftp server

Please refer to the associated publication in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics: (for pdf click here)

Dentener, F., S. Kinne, T. Bond, O. Boucher, J. Cofala, S. Generoso, P. Ginoux, S. Gong, J. Hoelzemann, A. Ito, L. Marelli, J. Penner, J.-P. Putaud, C. Textor, M. Schulz, G.v.d. Werf, and J. Wilson: Emissions of primary aerosol and precursor gases in the years 2000 and 1750 -prescribed data-sets for AeroCom, Atmos. Chem. Phys., 6, 4321-4344, 2006.

The emissions were provided to perform essentially two dedicated experiments:
AEROCOM experiment B for present day
( representing year 2000 )

AEROCOM experiment PRE for preindustrial times
(representing anthropogenic emissions for year 1750)
