The Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning, MoEPP, in Macedonia is being supported by SMHI in building a national system to handle the collection of data from measuring stations for air quality and meteorology. The EU project began in March 2011 and will continue until October 2011.
The air quality management system is based on Airviro.
Training the Ministry of Environment in air modelling
In early June, representatives of SMHI travelled to Skopje to train MoEPP personnel in how to use Airviro to record emissions and describe the air environment using dispersion models.
“We have several planned training initiatives during the summer and autumn,” says David Segersson, who is co-ordinating the project. He goes on to say:
“Users and system administrators will have further training also once the project has formally ended.”
In addition to SMHI’s contribution, measuring stations are being installed for air quality and meteorology.
