  2. ENV-e-CITY background • Compliance of city authorities with EU environmental legislation • Need for efficient environmental assessments; these are only possible on the basis of sufficient and reliable environmental information. • Need to inform the citizen on the state of the environment • Support of environmental professionals, e.g. those involved in impact assessment studies

  6. Topography • Data exploring “web-worms” • Digital Elevation Maps • On-line available info (land use + topography) (http://edcdaac.usgs.gov/glcc/globdoc1_2.html) • Topography data on demand Emissions • Data exchange module for emissions • City emissions estimator • using fuel consumption data • based on traffic data

  7. Meteorology • Easy meteorological assessment • Pre-processors • Data selection wizard • Personalized weather info • EIA studies • Suggest tools • Provide links • Support on-line submission of data and retrieval of results

  8. Air quality • Easy air quality assessment • Gaussian models (from emissions to AQ) • Model selection via MDS • Data requirements list based on assessment needs • Assessment method suggestion (on-line expert system) • Personalized Air Quality Indicators • EIA studies • Suggest tools • Provide links • Support on-line submission of data and retrieval of results
