Seeking Comments on Review Drafts of HTAP 2010

Review drafts of Parts A-C are now available on the HTAP wiki at http://htap.icg.fz-juelich.de/data/ExternalReview.  Drafts of Part D and the Executive Summary will follow in the coming weeks.  All interested experts are invited to provide comments.  To be most useful, the comments must be returned by 30 July, 2010 by email to htap2010@ecrweb.com in the form of a "marked up" PDF. Comments received after 30 July will be taken into account as time allows.

All the drafts are available in "commentable-PDF" format, which allows reviewers to enter comments directly into the document using editing and commenting tools available in the free Adobe Reader. We ask that you use these tools to provide your suggested edits and comments, which will facilitate our work in compiling and responding to the comments we receive.

The Task Force and the report authors and editors are particularly interested in your views and comments/information on:

  • Additional studies and reports providing insights on the role of intercontinental transport of air pollutants. These additional studies would have to be traceable (i.e. with a reference) and publically available.

  • The scientific and technical underpinning of the Findings, and Recommendations in each chapter and in the Chapter 6 summary.

  • Any other observations on the draft reports.

The draft findings and recommendations will be presented for discussion at the upcoming meetings of the LRTAP WGSR (30 Aug-3 Sept) and EMEP Steering Body (13-15 Sept).  The findings and recommendations will be finalized before the end of September for submission to the LRTAP Executive Body.
