Overview

Assessment validates anthropogenic emission inventories for PM2.5, SO2, and NOx in Japan, highlighting the need for precise inventory selection.

Key Points

  • HTAP provided the most balanced SO2 and CO fields, with regional mean biases mostly within ±25%.
  • CAMS-GLOB-ANT systematically under-estimated PM2.5 and CO while over-estimating SO2, highlighting needed adjustments.
  • ECLIPSE reproduced NOx spatial gradients best despite a negative overall bias, indicating variability in performance among inventories.
  • Emissions uncertainty dominated air quality error, suggesting the necessity for multi-inventory approaches to improve assessments.
