Summer ozone reporting (SOR): legislation
Under Directive 2008/50/EC Member States (MS) shall provide:
• monthly data: before the end of the following month information on the exceedance of ozone– information threshold, 1h max > 180 µg/m3
– alert threshold, 1h max > 240 µg/m3
• April – September data: not later than 31st October– information on the exceedances of long-term
objective for the protection of human health for ozone, 8h daily max > 120 µg/m3
– 1h monthly maximums for all operational stations
… station information should be available !

The detailed definition of the information to be reported can be downloaded from the Reportnet Data Dictionary (DD) http://dd.eionet.europa.eu
Countries are requested to deliver their monthly and summer reports to the Eionet Central Data Repository (CDR) according to the technical guidance http://cdr.eionet.europa.eu
A Reportnet Generic Data Exchange Module (GDEM) was introduced to facilitate the delivery and validation of ozone exceedance data.

SOR: quality feedback
1. The GDEM makes automatically the basic syntax check on the delivered data and post a quality report directly in the delivery envelope on CDR. The checks made by the GDEM are based on the quality rules stored in the Data Dictionary. This report is ready within a few minutes of the data delivery.
2. The detailed check on inconsistencies & potential errors is made manually during data processing by ETC/ACM on monthly basis. The feedback is added in the delivery envelope on CDR.
…The data suppliers are asked to correct inconsistencies and errors, i. e. upload amended reports, in way of feedback reports in CDR (to resubmit the complete file following the naming conventions).

Near real-time AQ data exchange (NRT)
• EEA has developed a system for exchanging and displaying NRT air quality data from measurement stations across Europe.
• The information is provided by national and regional organisations on a voluntary basis and aims to serve the general public.
• Data from stations across Europe are transmitted to the EEA in Copenhagen on an hourly basis.
• The NRT air quality data is preliminary and may change when validated, so are not used for legal compliance reporting.

NRT: current status
Currently there are app. 70 data providers, full EU coverage for ozone, partly for PM10 and NO2

NRT: quality of the data
The NRT air quality data is preliminary and may change when validated, so are not used for legal compliance reporting:
• Insufficient data coverage• Unrealistic values• mostly lack of data re-transmission => discrepancies

NRT vs. SOR
EEA is working to streamline reporting process EEA has been comparing NRT reported data with officially reported ozone exceedances on monthly basis.

West Balkan countries: SOR & NRT outstanding issues
NRT: no participation at present SOR:1. Stations/measurement configurations:
SOR vs. AirBase2. Unknown/ undefined type of ozone station3. Low density of ozone monitoring sites -
low density do not allow to provide reliable estimates of spatial distribution by interpolation in particular countries
4. Number’s precision and rounding, unambiguous calculation of the aggregated values in linkage with exceedances reporting - is X < threshold+0.5 exceedance or not?
5. Small number of rural stations with comparison with the total area of the country and the number of urban stations affected the precision of mapping
5. Missing information about the completeness of one-hour measurements
7. Using of the traffic and industrial stations for the summer reporting.
8. Other
