Integration of Work Between EMEP and ICP-IM Milan Vana
This presentation focuses on the collaboration between EMEP and ICP-IM, specifically on precipitation data and activities. It outlines the current stage, benefits of individual ICPs for EMEP, co-located stations, detailed comparisons, future plans, and more. The International Cooperative Programme on Integrated Monitoring of Air Pollution Effects on Ecosystems (ICP-IM) aims to provide long-term data for decision-making and ecological impact assessment. Various subprogrammes under ICP-IM cover meteorology, air and precipitation chemistry, groundwater, soil and foliage chemistry, vegetation, heavy metals, and POPs. Suggestions for future integration include a common website for EMEP and WGE activities, common databases, and joint workshops.

Integration of the work between EMEP and WGE (focused on precipitation and ICP-IM) Milan Vana
Outline Current stage Benefits of individual ICP s for EMEP Precipitation Co-located EMEP and ICP-IM stations EMEP and ICP-IM detailed comparison of activities The future
Precipitation measurements in individual ICPs ICP-Integrated monitoring wet, bulk, throughfall, steamflow monthly data 30 sites ICP- Forests wet bulk, throughfall, steamflow monthly data - 700 sites
Station network : EMEP x ICP-IM (6 co-located stations)
International Cooperative Programme on Integrated Monitoring of Air Pollution Effects on Ecosystems (ICP IM) The overall aim of integrated monitoring was originally to determine and predict the state and change of terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems in a long-term perspective with respect to the impact of air pollutants, especially nitrogen and sulphur. This was to provide one basis for decisions on emission controls and assessment of the ecological impact of such controls within Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution of the UNECE. However, the full implementation of the Integrated Monitoring Programme will allow the ecological effects of tropospheric ozone, heavy metals and persistent organic substances to be determined. Implementation of the Programme will provide a major contribution to the international data requirements for examining the ecosystem impacts of climatic change, changes in biodiversity and depletion of stratospheric ozone. A primary concern is the provision of scientific and statistically reliable data that can be used in modelling and decision making. The main emphasis is to establish consistent time series for environmental variables rather than establishing representative surveys across the UNECE region.
ICP-IM Subprogrammes Meteorology Air chemistry Precipitation chemistry Throughfall Steamflow Runoff water chemistry Groundwater chemistry Soil water chemistry Soil chemistry Foliage chemistry Litterfall chemistry Vegetation Heavy metals and POPs.
Future Further integrate the work between EMEP and WGE A common web site for all WGE activities (together with EMEP) Common databases ??? Joint workshops ???
EMEP/WGE activities in a larger perspective New needs for data for performance review of the Protocols as well as for further amendments may occur by 2018-2020(?). The time up to that may give an opportunity for reconsidering organisation and priorities, in particular in the long term There are needs for EMEP/WGE competence and data in a variety of international organisaitons and processes outside CLRTAP. These should be identified and (formal) discussions on collaboration should be undertaken. The European Commission indicated that there is a need for updated information from EMEP/WGE around 2020 in connection with a new policy round within the EU. The inclusion of effects-oriented monitoring in the EU NERC Directive presently under negotiation will stabilize monitoring systems and increase the interest of Member States in the functioning of the ICPs and related centres.
