Spatio - temporal analysis and interpolation of PM 10 measurements in Europe for 2009 ETC / ACM Technical Paper 2012 / 8 March 2013 – revised version

The European Topic Centre on Air Pollution and Climate Change Mitigation (ETC/ACM) is a consortium of European institutes under contract of the European Environment Agency RIVM UBA-V ÖKO AEAT EMISIA CHMI NILU VITO INERIS 4Sfera PBL CSIC Front page picture: Interpolated maps of yearly mean PM10 concentrations (left) in Europe for 2009 and the approximate annual standard deviation of the predictions calculated as by Denby et al. (2008b) using a temporal correlation coefficient of 0.3 (right). The method adopted is the metric covariance model using 100 neighbours (3-f in this paper). Blue crosses denote rural stations used to produce the maps. (Section 3.2 and Figure 5 of this paper).
