Revision as of 17:59, 4 December 2020

On this page we describe the directory tree from which the HEMCO emissions component can read emissions inventories and other atmospheric data sets.

Overview

The HEMCO emissions component can read several types of emission inventories, as well as other types atmospheric data sets, such as production and loss rates, or concentration data. We have collated all of this data into a comprehensive directory tree structure. Each folder of the HEMCO data directory tree represents a particular emissions inventory or other data set.

At present, the HEMCO data directory tree resides on the disk servers at Harvard University (and soon at Dalhousie University). We have created a package that will let you download this directory tree to your local disk storage space. For more information, please see the Downloading the HEMCO data directories section below.

Please see our list of recommended default emission inventories, which has been compiled by the Emissions and Deposition Working Group.

Downloading the HEMCO data directories

We recommend the following methods for downloading the HEMCO data directories, depending on which GEOS-Chem version you are using:

GEOS-Chem versions Recommended download method Alternate download method
12.7.0 and later The GEOS-Chem dry-run option Manual download from either
12.6.3 and prior The hemco_data_download package Manual download from either

--Bob Yantosca (talk) 17:07, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

HEMCO data directory structure

The sections below describe each of the data sets contained in the HEMCO directory tree, grouped by type.

In each of the tables below:

The Inventory column contains a link that describes each data set in more detail. Most of these links point to existing pages on the GEOS-Chem wiki.
The Data file info column points to the README files that are stored with each data set. Each README provides a list of the files contained within a given folder, information about the data contained in each file, and (often) a description of how the files were created.
The Path column shows the location of each data set, with respect to $ROOT, the top-level HEMCO directory. For example, on the Harvard disk server, $ROOT points to the directory /mnt/gcgrid/data/ExtData/HEMCO/.
The Default or optional setting? column contains this description
DEFAULT SETTING Denotes that the data set is part of the standard emissions configuration for GEOS-Chem, that is:
OPTIONAL SETTING Denotes that the data set is not part of the the standard GEOS-Chem emissions configuration.
  • But you can still use the data set in your research applications if you wish.
If use GEOS-Chem, then we recommend that you download the data sets that are listed as DEFAULT SETTING, as these form the standard GEOS-Chem emissions configuration. You are free, however, to use any of the data sets listed below. Your choice of data sets will depend on your particular research needs.

NOTE: The inventories are grouped and listed in the same order as in the HEMCO_Config.rc version that ships with GEOS-Chem 13.0.0.

NOTES about ship emissions:

  1. CEDS ship emissions are the default ship inventory in GEOS-Chem 12.1.0 and later versions.
    • Data files for CEDS ship emissions are stored with the other CEDS emission sector files in the HEMCO data path: $ROOT/CEDS/v2018-04/.
  2. If CEDS emissions are turned off above then:
    • ARCTAS should be used over ICOADS, CORBETT, and HTAP for SO2
    • ICOADS should be used for CO and NO.
  3. The NEI2011 ship emissions data only extends a few km from land. They are therefore coastal emissions inventories and not global emissions inventories.

Submitting new data for use with HEMCO

If you have a new emissions inventory or other atmospheric data set that you would like to add to the HEMCO data directories, then please contact the GEOS-Chem Support Team. Data files must be in COARDS-compliant or CF-compliant netCDF format. Please see the following pages for more information:

  1. Preparing data files for use with HEMCO
  2. Submitting updates for inclusion in GEOS-Chem
