A global high-resolution emission inventory for ammonia
A global emissions inventory for ammonia (NH3) has been compiled for the main known sources on a 1°×1° grid, suitable for input to global atmospheric models.
Greenhouse Gas Emission Accounting: preliminary study as input to a joint International IPCC Expert Meeting/CKO-CCB Workshop on Comparison of Top-down versus Bottom-up Emission Estimates
Bottom-up data for carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide from the official national inventories (National Communications) were compared with data from EDGAR (Emission Database for Global…
A system for monitoring SO2 dry deposition fluxes to low vegetation
The improvements of the monitoring system which has been used since 1987 are discussed. The performance of the system in due form, and the reliability and accuracy of the fluxes were evaluated by…
In comparison with the long time horizon of climate change, the time horizon of climate policy-making is by necessity much shorter. To support current climate negotiations, a methodology has been…
RIVM's involvement in integrated environmental assessment, reporting and forecasting has brought about the development of a comprehensive information infrastructure. Over the last few years, this has…
Dry deposition monitoring over the Speulder forest. Description of the equipment and evaluation of the measuring methods
This report is part of a series of reports published to complete the projects Speuld (RIVM project 722108) and EC LIFE (93/NL/A23/NL/3547). The report describes a monitoring system for continuous…
Consumer Behaviour, a modelling perspective in the context of integrated assessment of global change
Human consumption of products and services is a major factor in the process of global change. So far, integrated assessment models (e.g., TARGETS) implicitly incorporate the behaviour of consumers…
GLOBETOX Modelling the global fate of micropollutants
The technical details of GlobeTox, an environmental fate model for toxic substances, have been described. GlobeTox is designed to function as a toxic substances module in the integrated assessment…
Ordination of the integrated monitoring data gathered under auspices of ICP-IM, UN-ECE Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution: 1989-1994
This report contains a limited number of exploratory multi-variate statistical gradient analyses of cause effect relationships in the data which are gathered in the framework of the International Co…
A database of methane concentrations as measured in the Netherlands and Europe
In order to increase our knowledge of methane emissions on a small scale the project 'Sources, regional scaling and validation of CH 4 emissions from the Netherlands and Northwest Europe' is carried…
