to continue to play an important role in facilitating
the exchange of emissions data between Canada and other countries; |
|
to compile emissions data collected by Canadian
and international institutions on chemical species of concern, including
acid- and oxidant-forming gases, POPs and HMs, "new generation"
pesticides and greenhouse gases; |
|
to provide up-to-date, quality assured emissions
data in customized form, with a high degree of flexibility in the choice
of emission sectors, and the spatial and temporal resolution on a variety
of gridded geographical scales; |
|
to implement and apply sophisticated emission
models and other methods for computing global emissions from natural and
open anthropogenic sources; |
|
to assemble global meteorological, climatological
and geophysical data for input to models for meteorologically dependent
emissions; |
|
to further develop and apply advanced methods
for data management, the merging of diverse data sets and the resolution
of data to user-specified spatial and temporal scales. |
