Main motivation: improve the modelling of Black Carbon (Tagged Elemental Carbon), SOA (Condensables), and BaP

Take stock of (i) Developments in emission inventories (LRTAP BC, condensables) and (ii) Winter 2017/2018 field campaign (EMEP/ACTRIS/COLOSSAL)

Assess the impact of a more consistent emission inventory for wood burning

A: CAMS-REG-AP_v2.2.1_2015_REF1: EMEP National Totals + TNO Spatialisation

B: CAMS-REG-AP_v2.2.1_2015_REF2: Same as A but including Condensable for Small Combustion in primary PM (independently from EMEP national totals)

Compare with the EMEP reference inventory (main difference compared to A regards spatialisation proxies)

C: EMEP 0.1 official country inventories

Test the LRTAP Black Carbon inventory (only available for 2017)

D: Same as C + BC modelling

Test the LRTAP BaP inventory

E: Same as C + BaP

Note: C/D/E can be part of the same model run

• Emissions: ftpmoca.ineris.fr:/Eurodelta-Carb/Emissions/
• A: CAMS-REG-AP_v2.2.1_2015_REF1.csv
• B: CAMS-REG-AP_v2.2.1_2015_REF2.csv
• C-E: pending

• PM Splits (EC, OC, SO4, Na, OthMin in PM10 and PM2.5, note the different versions for REF1&REF2): PM_split_for_CAMS-REG-AP_v2_2_1_rev_20190326_REF1_2015.xlsx, PM_split_for_CAMS-REG-AP_v2_2_1_rev_20190326_REF2_2015.xlsx
• Wood Burning / Fossil Fuel Share in PM10 and PM2.5 emissions (note the different versions for REF1&REF2): Share_biofuels_in_PM_small_combustion_REF1_2015.csv, Share_biofuels_in_PM_small_combustion_REF2_2015.csv
• EC_wb is defined as the wood burning share of EC emissions in the PM2.5 fraction. It is computed from the national/sector PM2.5 emissions, modulated by the GNFR_Sector/C share of EC_fine and the share of biofuel for a given country
• EC_ff is defined as the fossil fuel share of EC emissions in the PM2.5 fraction. It includes all the remaining EC_fine
• Splits only available for coarse/fine (above/below 2.5µm), models apply their own splits below 1µm
• Temporal variations: not prescribed (degree days or monthly climatologies)
