grid2gains_amap_BC_2019.nc -------------------------- Grid2gains-region allocation mask file for AMAP work. Based on GAINS country/region allocation. Updated 11.3.2019 Author: Paunu Ville-Veikko Regions: AC members: - NORD, Nordic countries - CANA, Canada - USAM, USA - RUSS, Russia Observers: - EURO, European observers - CHIN, China - INDI, India - ASIO, Other Asian observers Other: - OEUR, Other European countries (non-member & non-observer) - ALL, containing all areas belonging to any of the above - ROW, rest of the world, all areas not included in the ALL - ROW_land, rest of the world, land areas only (included mainly due to technical reasons). grid2gains_amap_BC_2019_minimal.nc ---------------------------------- Minimal set of regions. Regions provided in grid2gains_amap_BC_2019.nc were grouped into larger geographic regions in order to come up with a smaller set of regions which could be used for modelling. This may be beneficial for optimizing CPU resources (see summary of meeting on March 5, 2019). Author: Knut von Salzen Regions: Western AC members (AWEST): - CANA, Canada - USAM, USA Eastern AC members (AEAST): - NORD, Nordic countries - RUSS, Russia Rest of Europe (ROEUR): - EURO, European observers - OEUR, Other European countries (non-member & non-observer) Asia (ASIA): - CHIN, China - INDI, India - ASIO, Other Asian observers Rest of the world (ROW): - ROW, all remaining regions (identical to ROW in grid2gains_amap_BC_2019.nc) arctic.nc --------- Arctic region (ARCTIC, all latitudes >= 60 degree N). This mask can be used to account for Arctic vs. non-Arctic shipping. These two regions should be used in addition to the GAINS regions for simulations of shipping impacts. Author: Knut von Salzen
