SMoG - India

Gridded emissions data:

Sectoral monthly emissions have been estimated for:

• BC
• OC
• PM2.5
• SO2
• NOx
• NMVOCs
• CO
• Mineral matter

The data is spatially resolved into 0.25 deg x 0.25 deg. It is available in "ASCII" format as text files along with the "README" describing the details of the emission.

SMoG-India V0, which was used in GBD-MAPS India 2018 and Venkataraman et al., 2018 is now superseded by SMoG-India V1.

2015 emissions files can be downloaded from:- SMoG-India V1

(Emissions from 2005-2015 - "Available upon request")
