Abstract
Het RIVM heeft deelgenomen aan het internationale
project SREMP (Surface Resistance Emergency Measurement Program), tezamen
met de Universiteit van Aveiro, Portugal ; de Universiteit Politecnica uit
Madrid, Spanje ; de Universiteit Paul Sabatier de Toulouse, Frankrijk ;
Joint Research Center, Italie ; Institute of Terrestrial Ecology, UK ; ECN
and TNO. Het doel van dit projekt was de meting en parametrisatie van droge
depositie/emissie fluxen van ozon en zwaveldioxide in condities en boven
ecosystemen die prevaleren in Zuid-Europa ten behoeve van de validatie van
bestaande depositiemodellen. De rol van het RIVM was adviseren bij de
meetstrategie en de te gebruiken apparatuur ; de interpretatie van SO2
depositiemetingen, en het testen van bestaande depositieparametrisaties.
Deze eindrapportage beschrijft de interpretatie van de SO2 metingen en het
resultaat van het testen van de bij het RIVM ontwikkelde
oppervlakteweerstandmodellen voor SO2.
RIVM participated in the joint project SREMP (Surface Resistance Emergency Measurement Program), financed by the European Commission DG XII (50%). The main tasks of RIVM was to help determine measuring strategy and select equipment. Furthermore, interpretation of data and evaluation of parametrisations of the SO2 deposition processes used in models for generalisation of deposition over Europe (EDACS) was aimed. There is a serious lack of deposition measurements in southern European conditions. This report describes the interpretation of data measured at the coast in Portugal. The measurements made near Madrid were found to be inconsistent. These have to be checked on quality and consistency ; a proper analysis can be made. The results of this study show that the parametrisation of the deposition of SO2 is valid for the conditions and ecosystem at the Baixo Vouga site in Portugal. It is, however, questionable if the selected site is representative for southern European ecosystems or conditions, where the current uncertainty in deposition modelling is largest
