Measurement of volcanic ash in Norwegian air space. WP 1.4.3 Improved estimates of ash cloud top temperature and surface temperature. NILU OR

Kylling, A.

For retrieval of ash mass loading from infrared satellite measurements, estimates of the ash cloud temperature and the surface temperature are required. The ash cloud temperature and surface temperature may be taken from satellite measurements, weather model forecast, or deduced by satellite retrievals.
The report describes various methods to estimate the ash cloud temperatue and surface temperature. The impact of varying cloud temperature and surface temperature on the signal measured by an IR-sensor in space is investigated.

Monitoring of the atmospheric ozone layer and natural ultraviolet radiation. Annual report 2012. NILU OR

Svendby, T.M.; Edvardsen, K.; Myhre, C.L.; Stebel, K.; Orsolini, Y.; Dahlback, A.

This is an annual report describing the activities and main results of the monitoring programme "Monitoring of the atmospheric ozone layer and natural ultraviolet radiation" for 2012. In 2012 the ozone values above Norway were close to the long-term mean, except from the ozone winter values in Oslo which were lower than normal. A clear decrease in the ozone layer above Norway during the period 1979-1997 stopped after 1998 and the ozone layer above Norway now seems to have stabilized.

Heavy metals at Xstrata. Assessment of measured concentration level. NILU OR

Tønnesen, D.

NILU has done an analysis of heavy metal concentrations measured at Xstrata, Kristiansand. Through a simplified dispersion scheme, the measured concentrations have been converted to emissions. These have been compared to the reported emissions from Xstrata. The reported emissions and the measured concentrations are in agreement.
