Monitoring of greenhouse gases and aerosols at Svalbard and Birkenes: Annual report 2010. NILU OR

Myhre, C.L.; Hermansen, O.; Fjæraa, A.M.; Lunder, C.; Fiebig, M.; Schmidbauer, N.; Krognes, T.; Stebel, K.

The report summaries the activities and results of the greenhouse gas monitoring at the Zeppelin and observatory situated on Svalbard in Arctic Norway during the period 2001-2010 and the greenhouse gas monitoring and aerosol observations from Birkenes for 2010.
The monitoring programme is performed by the NILU ¿ Norwegian Institute for Air Research and funded by the Norwegian Pollution Control Authority (SFT) (now Climate and Pollution Agency) and NILU ¿ Norwegian Institute for Air Research.

SK-1401 Mongstad. Dispersion calculations. NILU OR

Tønnesen, D.; Berglen, T.F.

Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU) has performed dispersion calculations of emissions to air from stack SK-1401 at Mongstad refinery. Dispersion of CO2 and SO2 is calculated and analyzed. NILU has also evaluated the calculated concentrations from a HSE point of view, including life time/degradation of the components. The calculated concentrations have been added to existing background concentrations at Mongstad and the calculated total concentrations have been compared to air quality guidelines and threshold values. The defined Worst Case emission scenario exeeds the air quality limit for hourly concentrations of SO2. An alternative emission arrangement have been calculated, and this emission scenario does not exeed the air qualyi limit.

Deposition of major inorganic compounds in Norway 2007-2011. NILU OR

Aas, W.; Hjellbrekke, A.-G.; Hole, L.; Tørseth, K.

The total deposition of sulphur and nitrogen compounds in Norway during the period 2007-2011 has been estimated on the basis of available measurement data for concentrations and precipitation. Deposition of non-marine base cations is also estimated. Results are compared with previous estimates for 2002-2006.
