HEMCO data directories

Overview

On this page, we provide lists of data (chemistry inputs, emissions, initial conditions, and meteorology) that are read into GEOS-Chem by the Harmonized Emissions Component (HEMCO). These data reside at geoschemdata.wustl.edu and at the s3://gcgrid Amazon 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, and MeteorologicalInputs.csv.

Passing any of these files as input to the bashdatacatalog utility will initiate a data transfer to your local disk storage.
