The depositions of sulphur (S) and nitrogen (N), and air concentrations of ozone (O3) and particulate matter (PM) available here are calculated with the EMEP MSC-W model as earlier reported in the annual EMEP status reports.

- SR Tables
Earlier reported downloadable Excel-compatible tables with yearly country-to-country source-receptor matrices since 2003 (Type 1) and SR trend matrices were produced in 2009 (rep2009) for the years 1997-2006 (Type 2).
All modelled compounds (definitions of compounds in chapter 1.2 of latest
EMEP Status Report) with the different emission reductions for all
emitting regions and their identifying codes
can be retrieved in one single Excel file (until 2010) or tar file of CSV files (+ README file) (since 2011) for each year (References):
The source-receptor (SR) relationships give the change in air concentrations or depositions resulting from a change in emissions from each
emitter country. For each country, reductions in five different pollutants have been calculated separately: with an emission reduction of 15%
for SOx, NOx, NH3, NMVOC and PPM10 (as a sum of PPM2.5 and PPMcoarse) respectively.
The deposition tables show the contribution from one country to another. They have been calculated adding the differences obtained by a 15%
reduction for all emissions in one country multiplied by a factor of 100/15, in order to arrive at total estimates.
For the concentrations and indicator tables, the differences obtained by the 15% emission reduction of the relevant pollutants are given
directly. Thus, the tables should be interpreted as estimates of this reduction scenario from the chemical conditions of the given year.
As the EMEP MSC-W model calculations are changing with time, not only because of EMEP MSC-W model updates, but also due to modifications of the input data (e.g.
revised emission data and meteorology).
In broad terms, two types of model results can be distinguished:
- Type 1) Model results that have been officially reported in the annual EMEP
status reports, based on model simulations using the best available input data
(emissions, meteorology, etc.) at the time of reporting.
- Type 2) Model results from later re-calculations, using updated input data
which were not available at the time of reporting (e.g. revised and improved
emission data for the past, meteorological data on finer resolution, etc.)
Model results of Type2 should be preferred
when doing trend analyses.
