HEMCO data directories

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

Overview

HEMCO 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 geoschemdata.wustl.edu data portal and AWS s3://gcgrid S3 bucket.

Data directories by GEOS-Chem version

Our input-data-catalogs Github repository contains lists of input files needed to run GEOS-Chem simulations. These are contained in the comma-separated files ChemistryInputs.csv, EmissionInputs.csv and InitialConditions.csv. Passing these files to the bashdatacatalog utility will download the data to your local disk storage.
