The new EMEP grid

Countries are invited to report in the new system as soon as possible (on voluntary basis) but latest in 2017.

The EMEP reporting guidelines, including the reporting templates and GNFR will be revised to reflect upcoming changes. A draft version of the updated guidelines will be presented at the next TFEIP meeting in May 2013.  After the adoption by the EB the new templates will be posted on the CEIP website. The start of reproting in revised templates is preliminary planned for 2015.

There will be no temporary reporting templates for the new EMEP grid in between. If countires plan to prepare gridded data in the new resolution before, it shoudl be reported in current templates by replacing  50km² EMEP grid coordinates "i" and "j" with the long-lat coordinates.

To get more information about the new grid vist the download section on the right side, where you can find a document prepared by the EMEP centres for the SB which summarizes the main points of the new EMEP grid and a short presentation about the changes in the EMEP grid and the grid development over time.

Parties are invited to download data defining the new grid cells and fractions of grid cells (as text and Excel file) from the table below. Country specific ESRI shape files with the new 0.1°x0.1° (long-lat) grid definition can be downloaded as well.
