Geographical coverage EU28; Norway; Switzerland
Geographic (spatial) resolution 1km x 1km; 5km x 5km
Time resolution annual
Comment on geographic (spatial) resolution Currently, we use two different resolutions. Many emissions are allocated using land-use and population data which largely determine the final resolution.
