Analysis of Landscape and Climate Parameters for Continental Scale Assessment of the Fate of Pollutants
Landscape and climate variability is a key issue in multimedia environmental modeling. Predictions of pollutant fate and transport can be highly sensitive to some parameters, which in turn have high variability both across space and time. Hence it is important to characterise these parameters, in order to have appropriate information to supply to both spatially resolved and lumped models.In the present contribution, we illustrate a set of landscape and climate parameter maps of Europe, aimed at providing input to models of both distributed and lumped type. The data set is presented in the form of an atlas, i.e. a collection of reference maps easy to consult and to use for predictions with simple lumped models, when one is interested in making region-specific calculations.
