Two sets of EDGAR data are used for generating the emissions. EDGAR HTAP data is used for the aerosol and inorganic gas emissions, while EDGAR v4.3.2 is used for the NMVOC emissions. Below are detailed the processes for generating the emission files for both of these.

EDGAR HTAP

The EDGAR HTAP emission files are available from http://edgar.jrc.ec.europa.eu/htap_v2/. We mostly use the monthly data files, in order to use their estimates of seasonal variability of emissions. Shipping emissions are provided by the yearly emission data files.

A configuration file for processing these emissions using anthro_emiss, and a shell script for creating emissions for a whole year, are provided here: https://github.com/douglowe/PROMOTE-emissions/tree/master/anthro_emiss_scripts/EDGAR_HTAP

The working directory must contain:

  • anthro_emis executable binary
  • wrfinput_d0[1-4] WRF input files
  • input_data directory (linking to the 2010 EDGAR data directory, set up as shown in the file input_data_structure.txt)
  • edgar_monthly_data_template.inp the anthro_emis configuration template
  • run_whole_year.sh the script to modify the configuration template for each month, and run anthro_emis

The script creates a set of emission files with the naming convention: wrfchemi_00z_d0[1-4]_[YYYY]_[MM] and wrfchemi_12z_d0[1-4]_[YYYY]_[MM], where YYYY is a year specified in the run_whole_year.sh script (this is simply a naming convention, the data will still just be the 2010 data), and MM is the month.

EDGAR v4.3.2 NMVOC

The EDGAR v4.3.2 emission files for NMVOCs are available from http://edgar.jrc.ec.europa.eu/overview.php?v=432_VOC_spec. We use the monthly data files, in order to use their estimates of seasonal variability of emissions.

Configuration files for processing these emissions using anthro_emiss, and a shell script for creating emissions for a whole year, are provided here: https://github.com/douglowe/PROMOTE-emissions/tree/master/anthro_emiss_scripts/EDGAR_NMVOC

The working directory must contain:

  • anthro_emis executable binary
  • wrfinput_d0[1-4] WRF input files
  • input_data directory (linking to the 2010 EDGAR data directory, set up as shown in the file input_data_structure.txt)
  • edgar_template_[SEC].inp the anthro_emis configuration templates (where SEC indicates the emission sector for which that template is used)
  • run_whole_year_nmvoc.sh the script to modify the configuration templates for each month and emission sector, run anthro_emis, and then combine the emission files using the NCO toolset.

The script creates a set of emission files with the naming convention: wrfchemi_00z_NMVOC_EDGAR_d0[1-4]_[YYYY]_[MM] and wrfchemi_12z_NMVOC_EDGAR_d0[1-4]_[YYYY]_[MM], where YYYY is a year specified in the run_whole_year.sh script (this is simply a naming convention, the data will still just be the 2010 data), and MM is the month.
