data needed for mapping/gridding:
• emission data:
- (sub-)sectoral national emission totals per pollutant
• proxy data:
- statistical data for regionalisation of emission activities
- geo reference data for spatial allocation

all sector/source categories are differentiated into point, line, and polygon features before allocation and representation in target grid cells is carried out-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Geographic features
Point sources: a point source can be any emission represented by x and y coordinates. This should represent the main point of emission (i.e. a stack on an industrial site).
Area sources:this is a description given to a source that exhibits diffuse characteristics. For example, sources that are too numerous or small to be individually identified as point sources or from which emissions arise over a large area. This could include forests, residential areas and administrative/commercial activities within urban areas. Area sources as polygons: area polygons are often used to represent data attributed to administrative or other types of boundaries (data collection boundaries, site boundaries and other non-linear or regular geographical features).
Line source:a description given to a source that exhibits a line type of geography, e.g. a road, railway, pipeline or shipping lane, etc. Line sources are represented by vectors with a starting node and an end node specifying an x,y location for each. Line source features can also contain vertices that define curves between the start and end reference points.
