TROPOMI (Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument) is a cutting-edge satellite instrument aboard the European Copernicus Sentinel-5 Precursor (S5P) satellite, launched in October 2017. It plays an essential role in gathering data that helps scientists to better understand atmospheric processes and environmental changes. TROPOMI’s high-resolution data contributes to global efforts in monitoring air quali...

The study explores  how can different instruments for multi-level climate governance support the realisation of local climate mitigation and adaptation potentials.Multi-level climate governance may be associated both with a decentralisation of authority (e.g. where there are substantial differences in local priorities regarding mitigation and adaptation measures), or a recentralisation of aut...

The Paris Agreement recognizes that local and regional governments have an important role to play in global climate action. It is time to take this recognition a step further. Local and regional governments can help nations craft policies and implementation strategies that are most effective on the ground.Well-designed national frameworks need to take into account the roles and mandates of all lev...

This Manual presents methods that are recommended for use by the Parties to the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP), represented by their National Focal Centres. The Modelling and Mapping Manual can help and assist NFCs to:1. Model and map critical levels and loads in the ECE region;2. Model and map areas with air pollution values exceeding critical levels or loads;3. Dev...

Air pollution is one of the major environmental issues in the UK, with impacts occurring at local, regional and global scales. Much is known about the impacts on natural heritage features, with major steps already being taken in the development of abatement strategies both at national and international levels.It is clear, however, that there are still major gaps in the scientific understanding.Thi...

The ISGlobal Ranking of Cities is an ongoing project aimed at estimating the health impacts of urban and transport planning in 1,000 European cities.This research project evaluates various environmental exposures related to urban and transport planning (such as air pollution, lack of exposure to green spaces, noise from road traffic and heat island effects) for cities in more than 30 European coun...

The 2024-2029 Strategic Plan was developed through a collaborative process with community leaders, Air District employees, the Board of Directors and Community Advisory Council members, representatives from regulated industries, and our government partners.The 2024-2029 Strategic Plan is centered on four primary goals: achieve impact, advance environmental justice, foster cohesion and inclusion, a...

The PMF Evaluation Tool (PET) was described in Ulbrich et al., ACP 2009. Please cite the tool with this work in publications in which you have used the PET. The PET consists of several Igor procedure files (ipfs). This wiki serves as the help and documentation for the software. To run PMF with the panel, the PMF executable and associated files, accessed separately, are required (see Section 2, Ins...

The Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East – Climate and Atmosphere Research (EMME-CARE) project, has been established with a view of creating a regional Centre of Excellence (CoE) for climate and atmosphere research in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East (EMME) region, which has been identified as a global climate change “hot spot”.Through €45 million funding received from the European Union...
