Enhancing Air Quality Information Dissemination through SEIS

Explore the collaborative approach of SEIS for sharing air quality data among local, regional, and national institutions. Partners ensure data availability online for seamless user access. EEA oversees the Air Data Center to provide quality-assured European-level air quality and emission data. The platform aims to integrate various data types and enhance user experience through custom and standard applications, interactive queries, and downloadable files in multiple formats. Get involved by testing draft results in EEA Data Service and providing feedback for future improvements.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Future developments: Air quality in the Shared Environmental Information System (SEIS), dissemination of air quality information EIONET Air Quality Workshop 26 October 2006

  2. Shared Environmental Information System (SEIS) • Who: local, regional, national and international institutions are partners • What: environmental data in all thematic areas • Where: each partner makes available on the internet the data that they maintain

  3. Shared Environmental Information System (SEIS) • Users will be able to search for information from all partners • Users will be able to request data from any partner without making a copy • See two simple examples of working this way • Reporting Obligations Database (ROD) XML and Data Extraction Help • EEA Mapserver Help

  4. Shared Environmental Information System (SEIS) Partners must agree and then respect: • responsibilities • infrastructure • communication • content

  5. Shared Environmental Information System (SEIS) These agreements are already being developed in various processes. For example: • INSPIRE on spatial data at all levels • Data Centres at EU level • Revision of EU air quality legislation • At national level? – contact your NFP • ……

  6. Shared Environmental Information System (SEIS) • EEA will be responsible for the data centre on air • This data centre must provide the quality assured data at European level for: • air quality • emissions of air pollutants

  7. EEA work programme 2007/2008 • Design and implement the data centre on air • This task will need: • the expertise of ETC Air and Climate Change • the support of National Reference Centres on air quality and air emissions • the cooperation of DG Environment, Eurostat and JRC

  8. EEA work programme 2006 • Preparatory work on improving the dissemination of air quality data held in Airbase • Increasing the use of the data will facilitate the design of the data centre on air • Airview application is almost ten years old – it will be phased out in 2008 • Before - standalone software applications for dissemination in different thematic areas • Now – customise standard software applications within EEA Data Service

  9. Draft results for tabular data • Download files to “take away” for: • Stations • Statistics for 2004 • Interactive queries for: • EoI statistics • EoI meta information • Still considering best way to handle information on: • Networks • Measurement data

  10. Draft download files • Multiple formats provided: • ASCII Delimited • Microsoft Access 2000 • Microsoft Excel (depending on number of records) • Google Earth .kml (files containing coordinates)

  11. Draft interactive queries Query results can be downloaded as .csv files

  12. Toluene: annual mean

  13. Toluene: number of samples

  14. EoI meta information

  15. Try out the drafts in EEA Data Service • URL http://dataservice.eea.europa.eu/dataservice/metadetails.asp?id=949 • You will need your EIONET user name and password • Send your comments to sheila.cryan@eea.europa.eu

  16. Next steps • Generating online maps from the statistics in Airbase • You can already explore station locations using the .kml file in Google Earth

  17. But…. ….. the data centre on air is more than the current contents of Airbase • A great deal of other data also needs to be made available to users in an integrated way: • Zones in relation to air quality thresholds • Summer ozone reporting • Near real time data • AQ Plans and programmes • National Emission Ceilings (NEC) inventories • CLRTAP inventories • EPER reporting • IPPC reporting • Spatial modelling of air quality • Spatial modelling of air emissions • ……
