The purpose of this Working Group is to provide a forum to discuss current and new developments in GEOS-Chem associated with land-atmosphere and ocean-atmosphere sources, sinks, and fluxes of trace gases and aerosols.
All users interested in adding/updating the GEOS-Chem emissions inventories are encouraged to subscribe to the emissions email list (click on the link in the contact information section below).

Top-down Findings Germane to GEOS-Chem Inventories (please add yours!)
Science findings from top-down studies that have implications for inventories used in GEOS-Chem (e.g., an inferred high or low bias or other such issue) can be compiled in this table. Please add any findings, either from your group or from other groups, that you feel the GEOS-Chem community should be aware of in using these inventories.

Recommended Default Emission Inventories
Emission inventories for standard full chemistry runs. Entries in BLACK are the recommended default emission inventories, entries in RED are alternate options, and entries in GREEN are inventories slated for inclusion in GEOS-Chem in the future. Regional inventories overwrite global inventories for particular locations (indicated in the table). Offline emissions of dust, biogenic VOCs, sea salt and soil NOx are the default in GEOS-Chem as of version 12.4.0. Options to switch from offline to online emissions are provided in the HEMCO configuration file (HEMCO_Config.rc).
Year(s) show years for which the inventory is provided. This is of particular importance for the offline emissions, as only dust emissions extend from the start year of the MERRA-2 and GEOS-FP meteorology to the end of 2019. In many of the anthropogenic emissions annual scale factors are applied to extend the inventory to the past or present. These are given in the "SCALE FACTORS" section of the HEMCO configuration file.
Please see our HEMCO data directories wiki page for information about how to download data files for each of the currently-available inventories.
