Extra financing granted for SNOOP

December 14^th 2012

The Central Baltic INTERREG IV A Programme 2007-2013 has granted extra financing for SNOOP. With the granted extra financing approximately 200 000 euros the Finnish Meteorological Institute is able to establish a clear cause-effect chain (audit trail) for ship emissions. The audit trail for the maritime emissions requires airborne measurements across the land-sea interface. In the Gulf of Finland, this will be accomplished by flights between the northern and southern coasts, crossing the shipping lane in the middle of the Gulf of Finland.
