Integrated Criteria Document Fine Particulate Matter
This document reports data on fine particulate matter with regard to sources and emissions, exposure levels, effect levels, risks, and technical possibilities for reducing these risks. The information…
Documentation of a geographically explicit dynamic carbon cycle model
The CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere has increased considerably during the last century. Without strong reductions of greenhouse gas emissions, the concentration will double from the pre…
Progress in the EUROMOD project (RIVM no. 461501) is reported. The EUROMOD project aims at the realization of a computer model that may support international negotiations concerning Europe's…
Nitrogen pollution on the local and regional scale: the present state of knowledge and research needs
Concerns the results of a feasibility study on the realisation of a nitrogen research programme for the local scale. This study, initiated by the Ministries of Housing, Physical Planning and…
Mapping of exceedances of ozone critical levels for crops and forests in the Netherlands, preliminary results
Within the framework of the UN-ECE convention for long-range transport of air pollution critical levels of ozone of forests and crops have been determined.
The quality of environmental monitoring and forecasting on a European scale is influenced significantly by the accuracy of land use and land cover data. Due to an urgent need for a geo-referenced…
Data Management in support of Integrated Environmental Assessment and Modelling at RIVM (Including the 1995 Catalogue of International Data Sets)
This report describes how global and regional data sets are managed within RIVM in relation to UNEP's Global Environmental Outlook and other environmental assessment and global change studies.
Research at the Speulder forest: assessment of the effects acidification , eutrophication and ozone
Within the framework of the Dutch Priority Program on Acidification, 10 years of research was conducted at the Douglas fir Speulder forest. The aim of the combined research was to determine the…
The NO 2 photodissociation rate, j(NO 2 ), plays a key role in atmospheric chemistry. It is one of the most sensitive parameters in atmospheric photochemical transport models. In transport models…
Technical description of the RIVM trajectory model
The RIVM trajectory model, described in this report, enables calculation of a backward or forward trajectory. These trajectories are used to "follow" previous released air pollution in a backward mode…
