Dear all,
we would like to follow-up on a discussion we had about a year ago (see posts by a.heil at fz-juelich.de from 23 March 2010 and reply by Philip and others as well as related discussion on CO2 emissions).
Main point is the introduction of some sort of speciation for various emission sectors as applied in the ACCMIP (Atmospheric Chemistry Climate Model Intercomparison Project) emissions data. These emissions are described in the published paper by Lamarque et al., 2010:
http://www.atmos-chem-phys.net/10/7017/2010/acp-10-7017-2010.pdf.
In this email we provide a definition of the sectors and their standard names. A follow-up mail will deal with the species definitions. Below we use "X" as a template for the species name.
We decided to propose standard_names only for the "tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content" to avoid a distinction between surface emission fluxes and "3D volume emissions". The reason is that this distinction is not always clear - see for example smoke stack emissions from power plants which are sometimes injected into higher model levels and sometimes added to the surface flux boundary condition in a model. An exception are aviation emissions, which we propose as "tendency_of_mass_concentration_of_X_in_air..." (see 12 below).

It may also include any not-classified or "other" combustion, which is commonly included in energy-related inventory data.
