Welcome to AEIC’s documentation!

The Aviation Emissions Inventory Tool (AEIC) is a Python library for modelling and aggregating global aviation emissions over time. Based on a previous version made using MATLAB by Simone et al. (found here), this updated library seeks to migrate the MATLAB functionality to Python and add support for previously unsupported performance models, updated trajectory dynamics, parallelization, and more.

Note

This project is under active development

Getting Started

Aviation Emissions Inventory Code (AEIC) is used to estimate aviation emissions using an aircraft performance model and a set of missions. It produces inventories that can be sliced by aircraft type, time period, or operating scenario to support analysis and reporting. Core modules cover mission definitions, trajectories, performance models, emissions estimation, gridding, and weather.

Installation

Warning

This isn’t done yet. We will do this soon as a separate PR.

AEIC is not currently available on PyPI. Instead, AEIC releases are hosted on GitHub, and may be installed as follows:

TBD

Units

AEIC uses SI units interally. Conventional non-SI units are used for input and output as appropriate.
