Interactive comment on “Improved provincial emission inventory and speciation profiles of anthropogenic non-methane volatile organic compounds: a case study for Jiangsu, China” by

The paper describes a bottom-up development and evaluation of a highly-resolved regional emission inventory for NMHCs in the area of Jiangsu, a strong industrialized region in Eastern China. The reference period is almost 10 years. The quantification of chemical processes is based on the determination of realistic source profiles for industrial activities by near-source measurements.

Mapping Asian anthropogenic emissions of non-methane volatile organic compounds to multiple chemical mechanisms

An accurate speciation mapping of non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC) emissions has an important impact on the performance of chemical transport models (CTMs) in simulating ozone mixing ratios and secondary organic aerosols. Taking the INTEX-B Asian NMVOC emission inventory as the case, we developed an improved speciation framework to generate model-ready anthropogenic NMVOC emission...

A high-resolution regional emission inventory of atmospheric mercury and its comparison with multi-scale inventories: a case study of Jiangsu, China

A better understanding of the discrepancies in multi-scale inventories could give an insight into their approaches and limitations as well as provide indications for further improvements; international, national, and plant-byplant data are primarily obtained to compile those inventories. In this study we develop a high-resolution inventory of Hg emissions at 0.05× 0.05 for Jiangsu, China, using...
