Here we will downscale tiles, so we set the size of the tile (area) as well as the resolution within the tile.

In this tutorial, the coordinates are defined to cover an area of 50x50 km in the Copenhagen-Malmö general area and with a horizontal resolution of 250 m. Coordinates uses the Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area (LAEA) projection [](https://epsg.io/3035) and have the unit meters. As an approximation, LAEA coordinates for Europe can be extracted from here: [](https://epsg.io/map#srs=3035-1149). Click on "Reproject Map" in the upper right corner. Clicking anywhere in this map will provide the LAEA coordinates. For example, for modeling the city of Paris the lower left coordinate would be

Remember however that increasing the tile size will increase the execution time and memory use (see [Running in parallel](#running-in-parallel) for modelling larger regions).

Remember that increasing the tile size will increase the execution time and memory use (see [Running in parallel](#running-in-parallel) for modelling larger regions).

In addition, we provide information on the geographical projection that should be used. As mentioned above we use the Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area (LAEA) projection which is very useful because it is easy to define rectangular tiles which line up when a larger area is split into multiple smaller areas (tiles):

In Mu et al. (2022), three GNFR sectors were downscaled including traffic, residential heating and shipping. Denby et al. (2024) extended this list to include aviation and off road emission sources. In this tutorial, we will use the simpler setup by Mu et al.

In general, emission redistribution proxy data refers to high resolution spatiotemporal data which can represent the emissions sources. For example, emissions emissions from traffic is high associated with location and size of roads within an EMEP grid cell. Thus, we assume that the sub-grid cell distribution of emissions can be proxied by roadlink information. In the following sections, we present suitable redistribution proxies for traffic, residential heating and shipping.

First we specify that local contribution should be calculated based on redistribution of EMEP emissions:
