GEIA provides a global 1x1 degree distribution of nitrogen oxide emissions from soils for the year 1990. The dataset contains monthly emissions data generated from an empirical model. It was produced by the Global Emissions Inventory Activity under the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry project.
Use Cases
- Model atmospheric chemistry by incorporating soil-derived NOx emissions data for 1990.
- Analyze seasonal variation in soil NOx emissions using the monthly temporal resolution.
- Validate newer soil emission models against this established 1x1 degree global baseline.
- Study spatial patterns of biogenic nitrogen emissions across different global regions.
Strengths
- Global spatial coverage on a standardized 1x1 degree grid.
- Monthly temporal resolution for the entire year of 1990.
- Data originates from the authoritative GEIA/IGAC international project.
Limitations
- Data is from a single year (1990) and may not represent current conditions.
- Emissions are modeled empirically, introducing potential estimation errors.
- Unknown sample size or row count for the underlying model data.
