This document briefly describes how Version 1A.1 of the GEIA inventories of anthropogenic emissions of SO2 and NOx were compiled. A full description of this work is being prepared for publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. Until the article is published, please give the following reference when you use the data:
Benkovitz, C.M., J. Dignon, J. Pacyna, T. Scholtz, L. Tarrasón, E. Voldner and T.E. Graedel. Global Inventories of Anthropogenic Emissions of SO2 and NOx, (in preparation).
Version 1A.1 corrects errors in the emissions of countries in northeastern Europe present in the February release of Version 1A inventories.
Introduction.
Current activities of the Anthropogenic SO2/NOx Committee center around the compilation of Version 1 of the GEIA inventories. These inventories are based on the GEIA-specified 1o x 1o grid (lower left corner at 180oW/90oS, west to east and south to north), reflect 1985 emissions and consist of two data sets: Version 1A inventories with annual emissions at one level and Version 1B inventories with seasonal emissions, two vertical levels defined at 100 m) and sectoral split information. Emissions totals across both inventories will agree. Work is being carried out in two complementary working groups; Carmen Benkovitz, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY, USA heads the work on the annual inventories, Eva Voldner, Atmospheric Environment Services, Canada and Trevor Scholtz, ORTECH International, Canada, head the work on the seasonal inventories.
GEIA Standards.
The standard GEIA grid definition for emissions inventory was selected at the First GEIA Workshop on Global Emissions Inventories, held in Baltimore, MD on December 1-2, 1991: origin at 180oW, 90oS, 1o x 1o resolution (i.e., 360 cells in the longitude direction, 180 cells in the latitude direction). At the Second GEIA Workshop on Global Emissions Inventories, held in Lillestrřm, Norway, June 22-24, 1992, 1985 was selected as the year for the initial GEIA inventory of anthropogenic SO2 and NOx emissions. The standard GEIA gridded population file was selected at the Third GEIA Workshop on Global Emissions Inventories, Amersfoort, The Netherlands, January 31 - February 2, 1993. The file selected was developed by Logan (Jennifer Logan, Harvard University, manuscript in preparation, 1993) using statistical data on national, state, and urban populations.
Inventories of Anthropogenic Emissions of SO2 and NOx, Version 1A.1.
The annual inventory for SO2 emissions compiled by Spiro et al, (1992) was selected to provide the default emissions data for the GEIA SO2 inventories. Anthropogenic emissions in this inventory include emissions from fossil fuel combustion and smelter operations. The Dignon (1992) inventory for NOx emissions, which includes emissions from fuel combustion only, was selected to provide the default emissions data for the GEIA NOx inventories.
Most current anthropogenic emissions data for different geographic regions were solicited from local research groups. The following data have been incorporated in the GEIA inventories.
The most comprehensive inventories of anthropogenic emissions of SO2 and NOx for 1985 in the United States and Canada has been compiled by the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program, NAPAP, (Wagner et al., 1986; Saeger et al., 1989). Version 2 of the NAPAP emissions inventories were selected to replace values in the basic GEIA inventories for the U.S. and Canada. Annual values for point sources were directly allocated to the GEIA 1o x 1o grid; the NAPAP spatial allocation file, which allocated population to the NAPAP 20 km grid was used as the basis for the allocation of area sources to the GEIA grid.
The most comprehensive inventories of European anthropogenic emissions of SO2 and NOx compiled under a unified methodology have been assembled by the Co-Operative Program for Monitoring and Evaluation of the Long Range Transmission of Air Pollutants in Europe, EMEP, (Sandnes and Styve, 1992) and by the UN/ECE CORINAIR project (Bouscaren, 1990). Emissions for western Europe have been taken from the CORINAIR work; the EMEP inventories supply the data for areas not covered by CORINAIR.
Anthropogenic emissions of SO2 and NOx for Australia were obtained from F. Carnovale (1992), Australian Environment Protection Authority, AEPA. Total emissions received were gridded to 1o x 1o; additional information for point sources was also included. NOx data for some point sources were missing from both files.
Anthropogenic emissions of SO2 and NOx for South Africa were obtained from S.M Lloyd, South African Department of National Health and Population Development, and R.K. Dutkiewicz, Energy Research Institute, University of Capetown (personal communication, 1993). Sectors represented included electric generation, synfuels, industry, metallurgy, mining, agriculture, transport and domestic. Data received were gridded to 1o x 1o GEIA grid.
Kato and Akimoto (1992) developed inventories of anthropogenic emissions of SO2 and NOx for 251 Asian countries east of Afghanistan and Pakistan for years 1975, 1980, 1985, 1986 and 1987. Transformation (electric utilities, petroleum refineries, etc.), industrial, transportation and other sectors are included in these inventories. Estimates are available on a province and regional basis for China and India; on a country basis for all other countries. Emissions for 1987 were apportioned to a 1ox1o grid by Akimoto and Narita [, 1994 #293]. The 1985 to 1987 ratio of emissions by country were calculated, and the gridded 1987 emissions were scaled to 1985 values using these ratios. Y. Tonooka (Y. Tonooka, Institute of Behavioral Sciences, Tokyo, Japan, personal communication, 1993) developed an inventory of anthropogenic SO2 emissions for five Asian countries: Japan, China, North and South Korea and Taiwan; emissions from this inventory replaced the Akimoto and Narita values for these countries.
