Online Data >

It is free to download following data on-line now: emissions data in years of 2008, 2010, and 2012 for version 1.2 and emissions data in years of 2008 and 2010 for version 1.0, including provincial and gridded data summarized in five sectors: power, industry, residential, transportation and agriculture. Monthly gridded emissions are provided with 1/4, 1/2, and 1 degree resolutions. NMVOC emissions are lumped into five mechanisms: SAPRC99, SAPRC07, CB05, CBIV and RADM2.

Customized Data >

The MEIC model provides customized emission products. Users can easily customize data in different resolutions, scales, pollutants, sources, years, and air quality models. The latest MEIC provides model-ready data which is compatible to many air quality models, such as NAQPMS, CMAQ, WRF-Chem, and CAMx. We also provide interfaces to couple with local emission inventories.
