Advancing Air Quality and Emission Monitoring in Spain

Overview

The RESPIRE project develops a national emission system with high spatial (1 km x 1 km) and temporal (hourly) resolution, tracking air pollutants from anthropogenic, biogenic, and biomass-burning sources, such as nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter. This data enhances the national air quality forecasting system and supports informed decisionmaking.

BSC and the Spanish State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) have joined forces to improve the representation of atmospheric emissions and complete the air quality prediction and greenhouse gas (GHG) monitoring systems in Spain. It will include carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) and will combine data from emission inventories with observations derived from ground-based instruments.
