Data assimilation in regional scale atmospheric chemical models. NMR Workshop av NILU, Kjeller Norway, 15 November 2005. NILU OR

Denby, B. (eds.)

This workshop is part of a Nordic Council of Ministers (NMR) funded project which supports the development and communication of scientific research between Nordic countries on the topic of 'data assimilation in regional scale atmospheric chemistry models'. The four institutes involved, NILU (Norway), met.no (Norway), DMU (Denmark) and SMHI (Sweden), all have active programmes in data assimilation. The intention of this project and workshop is to bring together these institutes to share knowledge and experience within a Nordic context and to further
support development in this research area. In total 21 people attended the workshop, including invited experts in data assimilation from Europe. The workshop showed itself to be successful, being both informative and helpful to the participants. This report consolidates the presentations and discussions that took place during the workshop.

Sivertsen, B.

Air quality in Egypt has been summarized from the first year of measurements undertaken by the EEAA/EIMP air pollution monitoring programme. Exceedances of the air quality limit values given by the Egyptian Law no. 4 have been found in several areas.

Sivertsen, B.; Dreiem, R.

The ninth mission to Egypt on the DANIDA EIMP programme included installations, detailed planning, training and reporting. Quarterly air quality data reports were discussed and finalized from the two Monitoring Laboratories. Training was specifically given for sample preparations and analyses.

Sivertsen, B.; Hermansen, O.; Marsteen, L.; Dreiem, R.

The fifteenth mission to Egypt on the DANIDA EIMP programme included monitoring programme updating, QA/QC procedures, training and reporting. Air pollution episodes resulted in daily reporting procedures. Monthly and Quarterly air quality data reports were produced and presented. Training in QA/QC operations was given to the Monitoring Laboratories. Audits to the monitoring stations was performed as part of training given to the Reference Laboratory. Results were reported in Newsletters, Memos and in a paper presented at the international conference Environment '99.
