The Sparse Matrix Operator Kernel Emissions (SMOKE) Modeling System was originally developed at MCNC to integrate emissions data processing with high-performance computing (HPC) sparse-matrix algorithms. SMOKE is now under active development at the Institute for the Environment and is partially supported by the Community Modeling and Analysis System (CMAS).SMOKE is primarily an emissions processin...

This emissions modeling platform is the full set of emissions inventories, other data files, software tools, and scripts that process the emissions into the form needed for air quality modeling. Each emissions modeling platforms supports air quality modeling of an historic year and one or more later years. Each platform relies on a version of the National Emissions Inventory (NEI) for most of its ...

The Global Emissions InitiAtive (GEIA), a community effort dedicated to emissions information exchange and competence building, was created in 1990 under the  International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) and is now an  IGAC activity. GEIA maintains an extensive network of emissions experts covering most source types and world regions, builds emissions data access and analysis platforms, and ...

EDGAR is a multipurpose, independent, global database of anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollution on Earth. EDGAR provides independent emission estimates compared to what reported by European Member States or by Parties under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), using international statistics and a consistent IPCC methodology. EDGAR provides both...

The Urban Air Quality Explorer provides global data on concentrations for PM2.5, NO2, O3 and CO2, as well as PAF (Population Attributable Fraction) and annual cases and rates for health outcomes attributable to these pollutants....

AQS is EPA's repository of ambient air quality data that assists in air quality assessments, designations, modeling for permit review and prepare reports for Congress as mandated by the Clean Air Act....

In an effort to support the adoption and implementation of the WHO Air Quality Guidelines, this document summarizes several air quality measurement and modelling methods that can be used to estimate ground-level air pollutant concentrations and presents multiple approaches to monitoring ambient air pollution at different spatial and temporal scales. These methods are crucial for estimating populat...

WMO has a history of organizing aerosol measurements, as reflected in its promotion of monitoring stations globally, and workshops particularly focused on aerosol optical depth (AOD) such as those in 1986 (WMO/GAW Report No. 43) and 1994 (WMO/GAW Report No. 101). This report expands the guidelines on aerosol measurements from AOD to include a comprehensive list of aerosol optical, physical and che...

IPCC National Greenhouse Gas Inventories Programme and its Technical Support Unit located at IGES in Hayama, Japan, initiated the development of new GHG Inventory Software (“IPCC Inventory Software”). The purpose of this software is to implement Tier1, Tier2 and Tier 3 methodologies in the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories for the preparation of national GHG inventories ...

This handbook is one of three resource products that constitute the CGE Toolbox on Institutional Arrangements, which the CGE developed in accordance with its workplans for 2019–2020. The handbook aims to help experts and practitioners on the ground improve their national institutional arrangements, which are instrumental to implementing the existing MRV arrangements under the Convention and the ET...
