Data is collected from the Protection of the Arctic Marine Environment's (PAME) Arctic Ship Traffic Database (ASTD) and aggregated to monthly sums in a 0.1x0.1 longitude latitude grid.

Emissions are given in total emissions (tonnes) per month (unit: tonnes/month), where the filename indicate year and month: ASTD_shipping_emissions_yyyy_mm.

NB: Each file contains 12 time layers, which requires the user to refer to correct timestamp to view data (i. e. ASTD_shipping_emissions_2015_01, data is found in time=1. ASTD_shipping_emissions_2021_07, data is found in time=7).</dcterms:description><dcterms:subject>Earth and Environmental Sciences</dcterms:subject><dcterms:subject>Atmospheric emissions</dcterms:subject><dcterms:subject>Arctic shipping</dcterms:subject><dcterms:subject>Northern Sea Route</dcterms:subject><dcterms:subject>air pollution</dcterms:subject><dcterms:language>English</dcterms:language><dcterms:isReferencedBy>Nikolai Figenschau, Jinmei Lu, Bjørn-Morten Batalden, Giuliana Panieri,
