I did some comparisons with the raw input files, and the VOC emissions for NEI2005 were up to 10-20x lower depending on compound. So I did a model run, saving out the anthro emissions, and checked again to see if I wasn't doing something silly or missing some on-the-fly adjustment. In particular the ALK4, C3H8, C2H6, and PRPE emissions seem too different. The CO seems ok (lower for NEI99 b/c of the ICARTT scaling). I looked at this b/c I'm dealing with adjusted NEI2005 emissions from a different source for some sensitivity runs, and wanted to check against the GC implementation. The fluxes I get for the other data source are generally fairly similar to the NEI99 values. Aaron van Donkelaar (kelaar@dal.ca) wrote: The first file (corresponding to GEOS5 at 1x1) is complete. This bug also affected primary aerosol emissions. To give you an idea of the i mpact, previous NEI2005 emissions for December 2005 outputted to the log file as: ============================================================================ N. E.

Le Sager In this folder, are the NEI2005 data processed by Aaron van Donkelaar. Original gridded data on a 4 km x 4km grid (REAM model) were provided by Yuhang Wang. Four (4) related masks have been created by Philippe Le Sager. Code by Donkelaar and Le Sager to read and process the data is available in GEO-Chem v8-02-04. Notes: Emissions are distributed on 5-levels. NIT, BC and OC are not used in GC. List of files: ============== nei2005_mask.pro --> IDLprocedure used to create, plot and check all the masks.
