Towards operational satellite based atmospheric monitoring in Norway SatMoNAir. NILU OR

Stebel, K.; Vik, A.F.; Myhre, C.L.; Fjæraa, A.M.; Svendby, T.; Schneider, P.

The SatMoNAir project [NSC contract nr. JOP.12.12.2] builds on a previous NRS 'følgemiddel'-project, called `Roadmap towards EarthCARE and Sentinel 5 precursor', within which NILU and met.no developed a strategy for how best to prepare themselves for future European satellite missions for measuring atmospheric composition, with respect to their national monitoring, weather predictions and research tasks. Three specific topics were considered particularly relevant: a. Aerosols ¿Climate effects in Scandinavia and polar regions: analysis of episodes with high aerosol loads for Klif reporting, b. the Use of satellite based ozone measurements in national reporting, and c. Satellite based Air Quality monitoring of remote areas for EMEP reporting. Results from the work performed are described in this report. The outcomes of the project have been utilized in support of the National monitoring of greenhouse gases and aerosols (see Myhre et al., 2012), the atmospheric ozone layer (see Svendby et al., 2012), and have been reported to EMEP.

Kristiansen, N.I.

The report describes how a transport model is used to simulate the emission of ash from volcanic eruptions and how the ash emissions can be described in the model. A number of methods for calculating ash emissions are presented and the development of improved ash emissions by manual analysis of satellite data is presented.

Bangladesh Air Pollution Management (BAPMAN). Deliverable D4.1: Training program for health impact assessment and documentation of its implementation and results. NILU OR

Sundseth, K.; Randall, S.; Sivertsen, B.; Rahman, S.

The objective of the training workshop for Work segment 4 in the "Bangladesh Air Pollution Management" BAPMAN project, is to build local (DOE) capacity for developing an air quality management strategy for the future.

The training workshop was held at NILU, being presented by NILU air quality experts.

The purposes of the workshop were to produce information on the health consequences of air pollution in Dhaka that can be used by local expertise at DOE and in supporting Bangladeshi institutions in the assessment of health impacts. The workshop aimed at developing the fundamental expertise by which objectives and strategies for air quality management can be developed into the future.
