<span style="color:green">'''''This update was tested in the 1-month benchmark simulation [[GEOS-Chem_v9-02_benchmark_history#v9-02n|v9-02n]] and approved on 12 Aug 2013.'''''</span>
 
Monthly mean aircraft emissions were generated based on 2005 scheduling data from the [https://lae.mit.edu/datasets/ Aviation Emissions Inventory v2.0], developed by [mailto:nsimone@mit.edu Nick Simone] and based on research by [mailto:mejs@mit.edu Marc Stettler] under [mailto:sbarrett@mit.edu Steven Barrett]. These were implemented into GEOS-Chem by [mailto:seastham@mit.edu Sebastian D. Eastham].
 
The following are gridded at a horizontal resolution of 1&deg; x 1&deg;. The emissions are vertically resolved in 60.9 m (200 ft) increments up to 1000 ft, and 1000 ft increments beyond that. The emissions are stored in NetCDF files and read in by <tt>aeic_mod.F</tt>:
 
# Fuelburn
# CO
# Hydrocarbons
# NOx
 
Black and organic carbon (BC/OC) are determined based on an emissions index of 0.03 g/kg fuel burn; sulfur emissions (sulfur dioxide and sulfates) are calculated assuming a fuel sulfur content of 600 ppm by mass and a sulfur conversion efficiency of 2%. The older aircraft NOx emissions have been removed wholesale, while the older sulfur emissions are enabled if AEIC emissions are disabled.

=== Implementation via HEMCO ===
 
In [[GEOS-Chem v10-01]] and newer versions, the AEIC aircraft emissions are implemented via the [[HEMCO|HEMCO emissions component]].  We have created [http://ftp.as.harvard.edu/gcgrid/data/ExtData/HEMCO/AEIC/v2014-10/README new AEIC data files] (in [[Preparing data files for use with HEMCO|COARDS-compliant netCDF format]]) for use with HEMCO. These new data files are contained in the [[HEMCO data directories|HEMCO data directory tree]].  For detailed instructions on how to download these data files to your disk server, please see our [[HEMCO_data_directories#Downloading_the_HEMCO_data_directories|''Downloading the HEMCO data directories'' wiki post]].

<span style="color:red">'''''These emissions are no longer compatible with GEOS-Chem and have since been retired.  The [[HEMCO|HEMCO emissions component]] now reads the AEIC aircraft emissions data from netCDF files.  The binary punch file format is being retired from GEOS-Chem.'''''</span>
 
=== NOx ===
 
The inventory of aircraft NOx used in GEOS-Chem is described in [http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/publications/wang1998a.pdf ''Wang et al'' <nowiki>[1998]</nowiki>]:
 
<blockquote>For NO emissions from subsonic aircraft, we adopted the 1992 monthly mean emisison inventory compiled by ''Baughcum et al'' [1996] and ''Metwally'' [1995]; the inventory has a resolution of 1&deg; x 1&deg; x 1 km, and the global source is 0.51 Tg N/yr.</blockquote>
 
The source code to read data from the aircraft NOx emissions inventory is <tt>aircraft_nox_mod.f</tt>.  Routine <tt>READAIR</tt> reads the files from disk at the start of each new month, and routine <tt>AIREMISS</tt> interpolates from the 1km vertical grid to the GEOS-3, GEOS-4, GEOS-5, or GCAP vertical grid.

==== Known issues ====
Due to the [[Lightning_NOx_emissions#The common block bug fix|common block error described by Lee Murray]], in [[GEOS-Chem v7-04-13]] we have added a new module array (EMIS_AC_NOx) to "aircraft_nox_mod.f".  The EMIS_AC_NOx array will be referenced in routine "setemis.f", which will pass the aircraft NOx emissions to the SMVGEAR solver.  The old common-block array "GEMISNOX" will be removed.
 
=== SO2 ===
 
From [http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/publications/park2004.pdf ''Park et al'' <nowiki>[2004]</nowiki>]:
 
<blockquote>Other anthropogenic sources of SO2 in the model include gridded monthly aircraft emissions (0.07 Tg S/yr)
taken from ''Chin et al.'' [2000a] ...</blockquote>
 
The aircraft emissions for SO2 are read from disk by routine <tt>READ_AIRCRAFT_SO2</tt> in module <tt>sulfate_mod.f</tt>.
