The work of EMEP is carried out in collaboration with a broad network of scientists at national level that
contribute with the systematic collection, analysis and reporting of emission inventories and measurements from
the EMEP monitoring networks. Without them this report would not have been possible.
The scientific and technical teams at MSC-W and CCC are also grateful to Anton Eliassen and Øystein Hov for
valuable suggestions and support. We would like to acknowledge our colleagues David Simpson, Jan Eiof Jonson,
Sverre Solberg, Erik Berge, Frode Flatoy and Hugo Jakobsen, for their participation in scientific discussions and
Dr. Steffen Unger, for useful comments and optimising the performance of the parallel model codes. Thanks are
also due to the Coordinating Centre for Effects for providing the latest information on critical loads.
The calculations presented in this report are based on meteorological data obtained from the Numerical Weather
Prediction (NWP) model run at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. We would specially like to thank Jan Erik
Haugen and Dag Bjørge for their efforts in developing the new meteorological model HIRLAM-PS for use in
MSC-W dispersion pollution models.
The calculations were facilitated by access to a CRAY T3E supercomputer at the Norwegian University of
Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway. The invaluable assistance from the staff at NTNU is
greatly acknowledged here.
