Description
This is the package of R Scripts linked to the publication of
Deetz and Vogel (2016). The package includes 5 subdirectories
(step 1-5) and all in all 7 R scripts (5 scripts and 2 functions).
For preparing your own gas flaring emission dataset please go
to the steps one by one. Just open the R script and make the
necessary changes. The documentation should be constructive.
The result of one step is used as input for the next step. The
final data file preparation (Step 5) is realized for the needs of COSMO-ART
but you can easily adapt the scripts to the needs of your own model or
application.
The parameterization can deliver just estimates of the gas flaring
emissions, due to the long list of uncertainties (given in Deetz
and Vogel (2016)). You have to be aware of these uncertainties when
you use these emissions. This product is free and comes without any guarantee.
This package is free software for research (non-commercial) purposes. In
case you are using this package in a publication, please cite:
