EmissV
<!-- badges: start -->
This package provides tools to create emissions (with a focus on vehicular emissions) for use in numeric air quality models such as WRF-Chem.

Using EmissV with EDGAR 5.0 emissions
EmissV can be used to process emissions of atmospheric pollutants and green house gases from inventories such as EDGAR, RCP, GAINS and other datasets in NetCDF format, the GEIA-ACCENT and ECCAD emission data portal makes available some of these inventories. You can verify the supported format with:
EmissV::read()
To generate a simple emission it's a straightforward process in 4 steps:
library(EmissV)
### 1. download the EDGAR Netcdf using R or from
### http://jeodpp.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ftp/jrc-opendata/EDGAR/datasets/v50_AP/
# create the temporary directory to download the data
dir.create(file.path(tempdir(), "EDGARv432"))
folder <- setwd(file.path(tempdir(), "EDGARv432"))
# download the total emissions of NOx from EDGAR v50_AP for 2015
url <- "http://jeodpp.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ftp/jrc-opendata/EDGAR/datasets/v432_AP/NOx"
file <- 'v432_NOx_2012.0.1x0.1.zip'
download.file(paste0(url,'/TOTALS/',file), file)
# unzip the file
unzip('v432_NOx_2012.0.1x0.1.zip')
### 2. read the emissions (using the spec argument to split NOx into NO and NO2)
NOx <- read(file = dir(pattern = '.nc'),
version = 'EDGAR',
spec = c(E_NO = 0.9 , # 90% of NOx is NO
E_NO2 = 0.1 )) # 10% of NOx is NO2
### 3. get the information from a WRF grid from a initial conditions file (wrfinput)
g <- gridInfo(paste(system.file("extdata", package = "EmissV"),"/wrfinput_d01",sep=""))
### 4. calculate the emissions for grid g
NO <- emission(grid = g, inventory = NOx$E_NO, pol = "NO", mm = 30.01, plot = T)
NO2 <- emission(grid = g, inventory = NOx$E_NO2,pol = "NO2",mm = 46.0055, plot = T)
The next step is to save the emission in a emission file, the next example show how to save emissions using the eixport R-package:
library(eixport)
### create a temporary folder for emissions
dir.create(file.path(tempdir(), "EMISSION"))
### create the emision file
wrf_create(wrfinput_dir = system.file("extdata", package = "EmissV"),
wrfchemi_dir = file.path(tempdir(), "EMISSION"),
domains = 1)
### get the file path of the emission file
emis_file <- list.files(path = file.path(tempdir(), "EMISSION"),
pattern = "wrfchemi_d01",
full.names = TRUE)
### save the emission
wrf_put(NO, file = emis_file, name = "E_NO", verbose = TRUE)
wrf_put(NO2, file = emis_file, name = "E_NO2", verbose = TRUE)
Check the wrf_create, wrf_put and to_wrf to more information and customize for your application.
NOTE: The emission file must be compatible with the WRF-Chem options (many arguments are the same as the namelist.input from WRF) check the eixport R-Package documentation and the WRF-Chem manual for more information.
Other R-packages are available to write netcdf such as ncdf4, RNetCDF, tidync are available on CRAN. Other languages such as NCL leanguage and the Python package wrf-python, and preprocessor anthro_emiss are aternative to write NetCDF files.
Using EmissV to estimate vehicular emissions
In EmissV the vehicular emissions are estimated by a top-down approach, i.e. the emissions are calculated using the statistical description of the fleet at avaliable level (National, Estadual, City, etc).The following steps show an example workflow for calculating vehicular emissions, these emissions are initially temporally and spatially disaggregated, and then distributed spatially and temporally.
I. Total: emission of pollutants is estimated from the fleet, use and emission factors and for the interest area (cities, states, countries, etc).
library(EmissV)
fleet <- vehicles(example = T)
# using a example of vehicles (DETRAN 2016 data and SP vahicle distribution):
# Category Type Fuel Use SP ...
# Light Duty Vehicles Gasohol LDV_E25 LDV E25 41 km/d 11624342 ...
# Light Duty Vehicles Ethanol LDV_E100 LDV E100 41 km/d 874627 ...
# Light Duty Vehicles Flex LDV_F LDV FLEX 41 km/d 9845022 ...
# Diesel Trucks TRUCKS_B5 TRUCKS B5 110 km/d 710634 ...
# Diesel Urban Busses CBUS_B5 BUS B5 165 km/d 792630 ...
# Diesel Intercity Busses MBUS_B5 BUS B5 165 km/d 21865 ...
# Gasohol Motorcycles MOTO_E25 MOTO E25 140 km/d 3227921 ...
# Flex Motorcycles MOTO_F MOTO FLEX 140 km/d 235056 ...
fleet <- fleet[,c(-6,-8,-9)] # dropping RJ, PR and SC
EF <- emissionFactor(example = T)
# using a example emission factor (values calculated from CETESB 2015):
# CO PM
# Light duty Vehicles Gasohol 1.75 g/km 0.0013 g/km
# Light Duty Vehicles Ethanol 10.04 g/km 0.0000 g/km
# Light Duty Vehicles Flex 0.39 g/km 0.0010 g/km
# Diesel trucks 0.45 g/km 0.0612 g/km
# Diesel urban busses 0.77 g/km 0.1052 g/km
# Diesel intercity busses 1.48 g/km 0.1693 g/km
# Gasohol motorcycles 1.61 g/km 0.0000 g/km
# Flex motorcycles 0.75 g/km 0.0000 g/km
TOTAL <- totalEmission(fleet,EF,pol = c("CO"),verbose = T)
# Total of CO : 1128297.0993334 t year-1
II. Spatial distribution: The package has functions to read information from tables, georeferenced images (tiff), shapefiles (sh), OpenStreet maps (osm), global inventories in NetCDF format (nc) to calculate point, line and area sources.
raster <- raster::raster(paste(system.file("extdata", package = "EmissV"),
"/dmsp.tiff",sep=""))
grid <- gridInfo(paste(system.file("extdata", package = "EmissV"),
"/wrfinput_d02",sep=""))
# Grid information from: .../EmissV/extdata/wrfinput_d02
shape <- raster::shapefile(paste(system.file("extdata", package = "EmissV"),
"/BR.shp",sep=""),verbose = F)[12,1]
Minas_Gerais <- areaSource(shape,raster,grid,name = "Minas Gerais")
# processing Minas Gerais area ...
# fraction of Minas Gerais area inside the domain = 0.0145921494236101
shape <- raster::shapefile(paste(system.file("extdata", package = "EmissV"),
"/BR.shp",sep=""),verbose = F)[22,1]
Sao_Paulo <- areaSource(shape,raster,grid,name = "Sao Paulo")
# processing Sao Paulo area ...
# fraction of Sao Paulo area inside the domain = 0.474658563750987
sp::spplot(raster::merge(drop_units(TOTAL$CO[[1]]) * Sao_Paulo,
drop_units(TOTAL$CO[[2]]) * Minas_Gerais),
scales = list(draw=TRUE),ylab="Lat",xlab="Lon",
main=list(label="Emissions of CO [g/d]"),
col.regions = c("#031638","#001E48","#002756","#003062",
"#003A6E","#004579","#005084","#005C8E",
"#006897","#0074A1","#0081AA","#008FB3",
"#009EBD","#00AFC8","#00C2D6","#00E3F0"))
III. Emission calculation: calculate the final emission from all different sources and converts to model units and resolution.
CO_emissions <- emission(total = TOTAL,
pol = "CO",
area = list(SP = Sao_Paulo, MG = Minas_Gerais),
grid = grid,
mm = 28,
plot = T)
# calculating emissions for CO using molar mass = 28 ...
IV. Temporal distribution: the package has a set of hourly profiles that represent the mean activity for each day of the week calculated from traffic counts of toll stations located in São Paulo city.
