1 September 2010 -  Workshop Noordwijkerhout

Below, please find the links to the documentation from the past workshop on the review and revision of empirical critical loads and dose-response relationships, held between 23 and 25 June, 2010, at Noordwijkerhout, the Netherlands. Later this year, the background document will be updated and published as a report.

13 November 2009 - Call for data

The Working Group on Effects (WGE) approved the CCE call for data to help NFC's in (a) focussing on new vegetation-relevant data requirements, rather than on soil-chemical data as in past calls, and (b) familiarize with a more sophisticated follow up of the VSD model. The NFC's are requested to select the quality and quantity of sites that meet current NFC capabilities, including collaboration with the habitat community in your country.

The deadline for the submission of your response to this call is 15 March 2010, to enable analysis and presentation at the 20th CCE workshop (Paris, 19-21 April 2010) back to back with the 26th meeting of the Task Force on Modelling and Mapping (Paris, 22-23 April 2010). Documentation of your response to this call will be included in the CCE Status Report 2010 and a summary of results will be reported to the 29th session of the WGE (22-24 September 2010).

Here you can download the letter and the instructions.

The submission should contain contributions to the following 3 issues/questions:

1. Test results for VSD+ with a document discussing the model results. Download VSDp.zip and VSD+Man.pdf

2. Vegetation species for (future) soil-vegetation model chain, potentially with VEG-parameters. You can use a template database with a combined Swedish/Swiss/French dataset.

3. Contribution to the European database of relevés with measured soil parameters. Also for this item you can use the template dataset.

23 April 2009  - "Dry-run" data for expost effects analyses of ciam scenarios by the ICPs

In future, CIAM will make data available for ex-post analyses of effects to be carried out by ICPs in the context of evaluating emission reduction scenarios for the Gothenburg Protocol revision.
The data in the archive below are for a 'dry-run' using existing data for the year 2005, which have been downloaded from the EMEP website and converted into a more user-friendly format. If an ICP needs other data, it should directly contact EMEP to find out whether they are available. Since all data are obtained from EMEP/CIAM and EMEP/MSC-W, it is them who should be acknowledged in any publication using them.
Please remember the Data Rules which cover data for work under the LRTAP Convention.

22 September 2008 - CCE participates in European Consortium on Modelling Air pollution and Climate Strategies

The CCE participates in the European Consortium on Modelling Air pollution and Climate Strategies (EC4MACS), which is a LIFE project. The EC4MACS project brings together a consortium of institutions to build and maintain a network of well established modelling tools for a comprehensive integrated assessment of the policy effectiviness of emission control strategies for air pollutants and greenhouse gases.
