Measurement of volcanic ash in Norwegian air space. WP 1.4.2 Improved detection of ash clouds. NILU OR

Kylling, A.

Water and ice clouds and temperature conditions may often influence the detection of volcanic ash affected pixels in infrared satellite images. Several methods are available for the detection of ash clouds in SEVIRI images. Manual adjustments to the methods are often needed for a given ash situation. The report describes various methods for detection of ash affected pixels. A quantitative comparison of the methods is made based on synthetic SEVIRI images from the 2010 Eyafjallajokull eruption.

Heating plant i Torshavn. Review of two assessments. NILU OR

Tønnesen, D.

NILU has made simple model calculations of an emission from a planned energy central in the Faroes, and made a review of two separate reports concerning emissions from this facility. NILU agrees with the conclusion made by H.R. Olesen that a 20 m high stack is sufficient to uphold the Danish air quality regulations.

Air Quality in Norwegian cities. Handbook for luftkvalitet.info - administration. NILU TR

Johnsrud, M.; Tørnkvist, K.K.; Marsteen, L.

This handbook offers an introduction to the webportal admin.luftkvalitet.info developed by NILU for The Norwegian Public Roads Administration and The Climate and Pollution Agency (Klif). The modules in luftkvalitet.info - administration provides necessary tools for quality insurance and handling of air quality data in the Norwegian national measurement database.

The 5-years assessment of air quality, the Norwegian experience. NILU OR

Guerreiro, C.; Bøhler, T.

This report describes the Norwegian experience and "best practices" regarding the approach to classify zones and agglomerations in relation to the upper and lower assessment thresholds, as required in Article 5 of Directive 2008/50/ EC and Article 4 of Directive 2004/107/ EC. It is based on the recent air quality assessments done in Norway and gives a brief overview over the available relevant information and methods NILU would consider in such an assessment. A short description of Norway's assessment zones and agglomerations and monitoring networks is also provided.
