Abstract
Inventories for global aerosol and aerosol precursor emissions, and auxiliary information, have been collected, assessed and prepared for the year 2000 (present-day conditions) and for the year 1750 (pre-industrial conditions). These global datasets establish a reference for input in global modeling, when simulating the aerosol impact on climate with state-of-the-art aerosol component modules. These modules stratify aerosol by type, distinguishing among dust, seasalt, sulfate, organic matter and soot. The datasets are also intented to serve as systematic constraints in sensitivity studies of the AeroCom initiative, which aims to evaluate uncertainties in aerosol global modeling. The datasets comprise daily size-resolved emissions of sea-salt and dust and monthly-to-yearly emissions for all other currently known emissions of natural and anthropogenic aerosol (precursors). The emissions are a reference dataset for aerosol modeling in the coming years and benchmark the emissions according to our knowledge in the year 2004.
