Activity on Emissions Data

 

The goal of the activity on emissions within ACCENT is to develop different and complementary approaches to establish and evaluate global and regional emission inventories, to provide easy access and detailed information on existing databases and to help develop parameterizations of emissions which can be used in chemistry-transport or climate models. Community tools for making an optimal use of the data for research and training will also be developed.

The species that will be considered in the databases are the ozone precursors (CO, CH4, nitrogen oxides, non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs)), greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N2O, CFCs, HCFCs and HFCs), organo-halogens, aerosols and their precursors (SO2, DMS and other sulphur gases, ammonia, dust, sea salt, black and organic carbon), and several heavy metals.

This activity will be developed in collaboration with the GEIA (Global Exchange and Interactions Activity) project, which is part of the AIMES (Analysis of the Integrated Modelling of the Earth system) project. AIMES is the new integration project of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program (IGBP).

Workshops & events on emission issues (click to go to the workshops page)

The activities within the ACCENT emission topic have been and will be further defined in several workshops, which will be announced on the ACCENT portal. It is furthermore intended to organize a joint ACCENT and GEIA workshop every two year. Information (program, list of participants, and oral presentations) on past workshops are available by clicking on the workshop&meetings page.
