Emiproc: A Python package for emission inventory processing

Emission inventories are created by countries and regions to assess and address air quality and climate change targets.An emission inventory is a spatial dataset that reports the yearly amount of pollutants released into the atmosphere, often broken down by specific source sectors or individual sources.Atmospheric modellers use such inventories to simulate the transport of emitted species in order to compute their distribution and assess their potential impact on the environment.The simulations are often compared with measurements to verify if the declared emissions and their trends are consistent with the observed changes in the atmosphere, thereby enhancing confidence in the inventories.
