Here is a quick overview of the emissions inventories that are currently available in GEOS-Chem.
#REDIRECT [[HEMCO data directories]]
 
== Anthropogenic emissions ==
 
=== EDGAR (Default inventory) ===
 
Starting with v9-01-02, the default anthropogenic emissions in GEOS-Chem come from the [[Anthropogenic emissions#EDGAR|global EDGAR emissions inventory]]. In previous versions, the [[Anthropogenic emissions#GEIA/Piccot|GEIA/Piccot]] inventory was the default. EDGAR can be overwritten by one or more [[Anthropogenic emissions#Regional inventories|regional emissions inventories]] in various locations of the globe (e.g. N. America, Asia, Europe, etc.).
 
=== RETRO ===
 
[[Implementation_of_RETRO_Anthropogenic_Emissions|RETRO anthropogenic VOC emissions]] are available beginning with version 9-01-02, and are the recommended default VOC emission inventories. The RETRO inventory has improved temporal and spatial resolution and a more inclusive suite of speciated NMVOCs than many of the other optional inventories.
 
=== Anthropogenic emissions of aerosols ===
 
Several aerosol species have anthropogenic emissions.  Please see our [[Aerosol emissions#Anthropogenic emissions|aerosol emissions page]] for more information about these inventories.
 
=== Ship emissions ===
 
[[Ship emissions|Emissions from ship exhaust]] from several global (e.g. [[Anthropogenic emissions#EDGAR|EDGAR]]) and regional (e.g. [[Anthropogenic emissions#EMEP|EMEP]] etc.) inventories can also be selected.
 
=== Annual scale factors ===
 
Several of the emission inventories are for a particular year or range of years.  To obtain emissions for years outside of the given range, [[Scale factors for anthropogenic emissions|interannual scale factors must be applied]].
 
== Biofuel emissions ==
 
The default biofuel inventory is that of [[Biofuel emissions#Yevich and Logan|''Yevich and Logan'' <nowiki>[2003]</nowiki>]].  This inventory can be overwritten by:
 
* [[EPA/NEI99 North American emissions|EPA/NEI99 biofuel emissions]] over N. America
* [[Anthropogenic emissions#David Streets|David Streets et al 2006 biofuel emissions]] over SE Asia
 
Please see our [[Biofuel emissions|biofuel emissions wiki page]] for more detailed information.
 
== Biogenic emissions ==
 
=== MEGAN ===
 
Biogenic species (Isoprene, Monoterpenes, Methyl Butenol) are emitted following the MEGAN model inventory. Please see our [[MEGAN biogenic emissions]] wiki page for more information.
Also see our [[Emissions Working Group#GEOS-Chem Emissions Issues(please add yours!)|Isoprene Emission Estimates in the Literature]] page for Isoprene Emission Estimates in the literature.
 
=== GEIA ===
 
Originally, GEOS-Chem emitted biogenic species from the [[Biogenic emissions#GEIA|GEIA biogenic emissions inventory]]. This option was removed in version 9-01-03, but remains available as an option in previous versions.
 
== Biomass burning ==
 
GFED is the recommended [[Biomass_burning_emissions|biomass burning emission inventory]]. GFED3 will be used for model versions 9-01-02 and later, while GFED2 is available for previous versions.  GFED includes emission factors for gas-phase species (NOx, CO, ALK4, ACET, MEK, ALD2, PRPE, C3H8, CH2O, C2H6), aerosol species (SO2, NH3, BC, OC), and CO2.
 
Most of these are also [[#Anthropogenic emissions|anthropogenic emissions species]].

== Other NOx emissions sources ==
 
Please see the following wiki pages for information about other sources of NOx emissions:
 
# [[Aircraft emissions#NOx|NOx emissions from aircraft]]
# [[Lightning NOx emissions|NOx emissions from lightning]]

== Aerosol emissions ==
 
Please see our [[Aerosol emissions]] wiki page for a full description of the inventories which contain aerosol species (e.g. SO2, SO4, NH3, NH4, etc.)

== Emissions regridding issues ==
 
Different regridding approaches have been tried in order to prepare for model simulations at the GEOS-5 native resolution of 0.5x0.667, or other high resolution possibilities.
 
With each step in regridding, information is reorganized in such a way that it cannot be recovered by later regridding in the reverse direction, therefore, optimal regridding is done in a single step. This means that when input emissions data are provided on a given grid, the optimal approach (to avoid losing information) is to leave them on that grid, read them into the model and regrid in the code to the desired resolution. This is the approach currently used for GFEDv2 which comes in on a generic 1x1 grid (360x180).
 
However, at present, the model does a 2-step regridding using functions from regrid_1x1_mod.f in the following way:
 
1) function DO_REGRID_G2G_1x1 regrids generic_1x1 --> GEOS_1x1
 
2) function DO_REGRID_1x1 regrids GEOS_1x1 --> desired resolution
 
The above is not equivalent to the single step regridding carried out in IDL (regridH.pro).
 
An alternative is to use the Fortran regridding code map_a2a (developed by S.-J. Lin and refined by Bob Yantosca). I have experimented with this in the model and have it working for some situations but the code has a single option for half-polar grids. This permits direct regridding from an input half-polar grid to an output half-polar grid, or an input full-polar grid to an output full-polar grid, but does not properly regrid between full-polar and half-polar.
 
Figures depicting CO<span><sub>2</sub> differences in the net terrestrial exchange field which was on a generic 1x1 grid then regridded to 2x2.5 for a model simulation using different approaches (IDL regridh.pro, regrid_1x1_mod, and map_a2a) are shown below, to emphasize that a single-step regridding approach is the best universal approach.
