This dataset contains the global monthly averaged emissions of isoprene released by terrestrial vegetation at global scale, at 0.5°x0.5° resolution, between 2005 and 2023, calculated using the MEGAN-MOHYCAN model taking into account land use/land cover change based on satellite data (Global Forest Watch and MODIS datasets).
This is the second version of the ALBERI dataset, updated using the most recent MODIS and Global Forest Watch datasets, with ERA5 meteorological fields replacing ERA-Interim. The meteorological fields are the primary source of the differences between the two versions.
It is fully described in Opacka et al., Global and regional impacts of land cover changes on isoprene emissions derived from spaceborne data and the MEGAN model, Atmos. Chem. Phys., 21, 8413-8436, https://doi.org/10.5194/acp-21-8413-2021, 2021.
Each year is in a NC file (size 12Mb) and a Zip file, containing all data, is provided too.
