RS-Land cover based environmental monitoring in Europe. Progress report on the applicability of NOAA-AVHRR 1-km data for small scale land cover mapping. Final report part 1
The main objective of the study was to find out whether the multi-spectral and multi-temporal classification of AVHRR satelite data could lead to an operational method to establish a 1-km pan-European…
Modelling gas-phase and heterogeneous conversions of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust plume of an aircraft ; A parameterization for global models
The gas-phase and heterogeneous chemical conversion of nitrogen compounds occurring in the plume of an aircraft in the first two days after emission were investigated with a newly developed aircraft…
Global energy futures: An integrated perspective with the TIME-model
In a previous report the five submodels of the energy model were described in detail. Here, a number of applications with the (stand-alone) TIME model are presented. In this report the calibration of…
Climate Change: Socio-Economic impacts and violent conflict
This report contains a literature study on the socio economic impacts of climate change and the possibilities of violent conflicts enhanced by the greenhouse effect.
Environmental Security and Sustainable Development
On 18-19 April 1996 an international workshop was organised by NWO, the Dutch HDP-committee and NRP to contribute to the research planning within the International Human Dimensions Programme (IHDP) on…
Greenhouse gas emissions in the Netherlands 1990 - 1995. Methodology and data for 1994 and provisional data for 1995
The inventory presented in this report complies with the obligations under the European Union's Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Mechanism and the UN-FCCC for emission reports on all greenhouse gases not…
Transport scenarios for the Netherlands for 2030. A description of the scenarios for the OECD project 'Environmental Sustainable Transport'
The Environmental Sustainable Transport (EST) project contains a business-as-usual scenario and three EST scenarios: one 'high-technology' scenario containing only technological changes, one 'capacity…
Long-range Atmospheric Transport of Persistent Organic Pollutants, I: Description of surface-atmosphere exchange modules and implementation in EUROS
Concerns a description of a model for the exchange of gaseous Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP) at land and sea surfaces and its application in the Eulerian air pollution transport model EUROS.
The Urban Air Quality Assessment Model (UAQAM) calculates the city concentration caused by city emissions themselves, the so-called city background concentration. Three versions of the model for…
Evaluation of the Netherlands Groundwater Model, LGM, for calculating pathlines, travel times and concentration at abstraction wells
The merits of the quasi-three-dimensional RIVM groundwater model, LGM (version 2) were evaluated for the calculation of pathlines, travel times and solute breakthrough curves at abstraction wells. The…
