Abstract
The workshop on GMES and Emission Inventories was held on the 10‐11 October 2011, at EEA in Copenhagen. With about 45 participants, this workshop brought together the emission inventory, satellite observation, in‐situ observation and atmospheric modelling communities. This with the aim to showcase existing collaboration and activities as well as to highlight options where in the near future inventories could support GMES services and where GMES services and other observational datasets could improve emission inventory information for science and policy.
The aim of this report is to synthesise the conclusions and discussions that where held during the workshop and to present insights in data and data flows to improve understanding, assessment and decision making on atmospheric emissions (air pollutants and greenhouse gases) and to list requirements on how to improve the linkages between datasets and emission and modelling communities. An important feedback from the participants was the usefulness of exchanging methodological views, insight in applied data sources, and especially to put GMES in perspective of European and national scientific and regulatory activities when it comes to emissions of air pollutant of greenhouse gases, also in relation to Climate and Air Quality legislation.
