HTAP_v3.2 emission mosaic Diego Guizzardi et al. h10.5281/zenodo.17086684
Short summary
The global air pollution emission mosaic HTAP_v3.2 is the state-of-the-art inventory to address the evolution of a set of policy-relevant pollutants over the past 2 decades. The mosaic is made harmonising and blending seven regional inventories, gapfilled with the most recent release of the Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research. By incorporating the best available local information, the HTAP_v3.2 emission mosaic can be used for policy-relevant studies at regional and global level.
