| DATASET DESCRIPTION | |
|---|---|
| Title of Dataset | RETRO emission inventory |
| Abstract | Within the RETRO project, global gridded data sets for anthropogenic and vegetation fire emissions of several trace gases were generated, covering the period from 1960 to 2000 with monthly time resolution. Anthropogenic emissions in the RETRO inventory are derived from the TNO database and the VERITAS inventory of international ship traffic emissions. Vegetation fire emissions were constructed from a large variety of sources with the objective to provide a reasonable estimate of emissions including their seasonal and interannual variability in the major burning regions of the world. |

| Data source(s) | Anthropogenic emissions in the RETRO inventory stem from two main sources of data: 1. The TNO data base 2. The VERITAS inventory of international ship traffic emissions For biomass burning emissions : National statistics of burned areas, GBA2000 burnt areas (from Vegetation/SPOT), ATSR fire pixels |
