The Task Force on Measurements and Modelling was
established in 2000 to offer a forum to the Parties,
the EMEP centres and other international organizations
for scientific discussions to evaluate measurements
and modelling and to further develop working methods
and tools. It is led by the United Kingdom and WMO
co-chairs its meetings.
Its main task is to support the EMEP Steering Body
and its Bureau by :
(a) reviewing and assessing the scientific and
operational activities of EMEP related to monitoring
and modelling ;
(b) evaluating their contribution and support to
the effective implementation and further development
of the Protocols ; and
(c) drawing up specific proposals for the EMEP work-plan.
It also provides for closer collaboration of Parties
to the Convention, the EMEP centres, other bodies
under the Convention, other international bodies,
in particular with the WMO, and the scientific community
in strengthening scientific communication and cooperation
in air pollution monitoring and modelling.
The Task Force reports to the EMEP Steering Body
and holds regular meetings. It proposed, discussed
and reviewed the development of the EMEP Assessment
Report.
