What can we learn about ship emission inventories from measurements of air pollutants over the Mediterranean Sea?

Ship emission estimates diverge widely for all chemical compounds for several reasons: use of different methodologies (bottom-up or top-down), activity data and emission factors can easily result in a difference ranging from a factor of 1.5 to even an order of magnitude. Combining three sets of obse...
