Web map that represents losses to air (emissions).
Data provided by EDGAR - Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research database:
  • Total N2O
  • Total NH3
  • Total NOx
Raster data resolution: 0.1 x 0.1 deg EPSG 4326 WGS84
Raster unit of measures: [kg substance/sqm/s]
Reference year: 2015
Raster spatial coverage: world
 
Data from raster have been aggregated at a country, NUTS2 and river basin level.
Type of aggregation: mean value over area.
Spatial coverage of aggregated data: EU27 + UK.
Map image layer reference system: EPSG 3857 WebMercator
Unit of measures: [kg/sqm]
 
In order to improve the visualization and display of original rasters in the webmaps, the original raster values are multiplied by 10^9. Values are thus expressed in [μg/sqm/s]
