This dataset contains etimates of global radiative forcing (RF) responses of BC and SO2 emissions from individual European countries in year 2011 and 2021, using both prior (bottom-up) BC and SO2 emission inventories, and two alternative posterior (top-down) BC emission inventories derived with 1) the LOTOS-EUROS Chemical Transport Model with an ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF); and 2) the FLEXPART Lagrangian particle dispersion model together with the Lund University Modular Inversion Algorithm (LUMIA). Posterior scaling factors for each emissions sector inferred from the FLEXPART-LUMIA BC inversions were applied to the co-emitted short-lived climate forcers (SLCFs) in that sector. The resulting posterior SO2 emissions from this approach were used to estimate the global RF from SO2 emissions in Europe. We combine the prior and posterior BC and SO2 emission products with different BC and SO2 normalized RF estimates from previous Earth System Model (ESM) studies in order to derive European country specific emissions and resulting global radiative forcing and surface temperature response estimates.
