Surrogate Data

In order to grid usage/emission data, sets of surrogate data are needed to apportion the usage/emission data to each cell. For example, gridded population data sets have been used as surrogates to grid anthropogenic emissions of sulfur, nitrogen, and carbon [Dignon, 1992; Spiro et al., 1992; Kato and Akimoto, 1992; Akimoto and Narita, 1994; Benkovitz et al., 1996; Li et al., 1998]. Gridded cultivation intensity data sets in different scales were used as a surrogate (Li, 1999, 2001; Li et al., 1996; 1999) to map global and regional usage/emissions data of pesticides.

  2. Global Gridded Cropland data with 1° by 1° longitude/latitude resolution (Li, 1999)
  3. Gridded Cropland data for North America with 1/4° by 1/6° longitude/latitude resolution (Li, 2001)
  4. Gridded Cropland data for China with 1/4° by 1/6° longitude/latitude resolution (Li et al., 1999)

2) Global Gridded Cropland data with 1° by 1° longitude/latitude resolution (Li, 1999)

The global cropland dataset with 1°x1° longitude/latitude resolution [Li, 1999] can be used as a surrogate for gridding agricultural usage of chemicals, including organochlorine pesticides. This dataset has been compiled by using an advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) global land database [Eidenshink and J. L. Faundeen, 1998].
