Emissions changes in 2020 due to Covid19

Emissions and climate effects due to the COVID-19 response Monthly emissions and concentrations for the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and resulting society response. All scenarios should be compared to the input4MIPS SSP245 baseline https://esgf-node.llnl.gov/search/input4mips/ Four scenarios are given for departures from the SSP245 baseline. Scenarios depart after the start of 2020. Monthly concentrations of CO2, CH4 and N2O are provided over 2015-2050. For short-lived species emissions are provided for BC, CO, OC, SO2, NH3, NOx, & NMVOCs. Monthly values for years:2015,2019,2020,2023,2030,2040 and 2050 are provided for the four scenarios. These should also be compared directly to the SSP2245 baseline available from the input4MIPS website.
