EU MarcoPolo project | SO2 emission inventory over China

<p>The aposteriori SO₂ emissions for year 2014, in the domain from 102&deg;E to 132&deg;E and from 15&deg;N to 55&deg;N, in a 0.25&deg;x0.25&deg; spatial resolution and monthly temporal resolution, have been provided to the MarcoPolo project and can be found at <a href="http://users.auth.gr/mariliza/MarcoPolo/SO2_EmissionInventory/">http://users.auth.gr/mariliza/MarcoPolo/SO2_EmissionInventory/</a>.
