SMoG - India

SPECIATED MULTIPOLLUTANT GENERATOR

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SMoG-India V0, which was used in GBD-MAPS India 2018 and Venkataraman et al., 2018 is now superseded by SMoG-India V1.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