Sentinel EO-based Emission and Deposition Service (SEEDS)

Project details

Website: https://www.seedsproject.eu/

Status: Concluded

Project period: 2021–2023

Principal: EU (101004318)

Coordinating institution: NILU

The SEEDS project is a Horizon 2020 funded project.

SEEDS aims at using all available satellite observations to improve estimates of European air quality and pollutant emissions.

In addition to the coordination of the project, NILU was responsible for work to understand dry deposition fluxes by combining satellite observations with a land surface model to better understand the role played by vegetation, droughts, and heatwaves on surface fluxes of trace gases and pollutants.

NILU also studied the emissions of volatile organic compounds from vegetation within the same frame of work.
