Anthropogenic Climate Forcers Historical Emissions Analysis

[DRAFT - final version May 2024] Input data necessary to run the jupyter notebook code script located at the Anthropogenic Climate Forcer GitHub

Files include:

• Final Emissions Data for major GHGs and air pollutants from Community Emissions Data System (CEDS) version v_2024_04_01. Emissions pre-1970 are from v_2021_04_21 fuel data with sector partitioning from latest version 1970 allocation.
  • Emissions data files by emission species (SO2, NOx, BC, OC, NH3, NMVOC,  CO, CO2, CH4, N2O), country, and sector produced by the April-01-2024 release of CEDS.
  • See the CEDS GitHub site for details including journal paper reference information and any known issues with this data.
•  HC (CFC, HCFC) emissions data from WMO Ozone 2022 Report, HFC and HCFC emission data from EDGAR - Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research, specifically EDGAR v8.0, with other species from UNEP Ozone Depleting Substance databases]. HC emissions sectoral fractions calculated using UNFCCC AFEAS database and UNEP ODS. See HC Section for specific details.
• IPCC AR6 Ch6 ouput data for effective radiative forcing (ERF) and temperture response (del_T) over the calculation time period (1750-2022)
• IEA World Energy Balances 2023 data used to allocate sectoral emissions data
• Species lifetime from IPCC AR6
• CMIP model thermal reponse parameters from Leach et al., (2021)
