Summary

Monthly CO2 emission projections, modified by the country-specific impacts of COVID-19 lockdown. 

This repository holds the netcdf files for CO2 emissions projected by the scenario SSP2-4.5, from the Scenario4MIPs database ( https://esgf-node.llnl.gov/search/input4mips/), modified by the country and sector activity levels associated with lockdown, projected out for 3 years after 2020 before returning to baseline. The details of these activity estimates can be found in https://github.com/Priestley-Centre/COVID19_emissions.

The methodology behind these calculations is based on https://github.com/Rlamboll/modify_COVID19_netCDF_Emissions/, a slight modification of the approach used in https://zenodo.org/record/3947917#.XxR_qyhKhPZ for aerosols emissions, and version numbers used here are consistent with the data seen in that database. We present only a single scenario (called 2-year blip, featuring a one year recovery after the end of the 2 years) compared to the baseline.
