Use of CIS and Statistics for an Environmental Monitoring System in Germany

摘要

The purpose of environmental monitoring is to process the data generated by monitoring programmes and measuring networks according to thematic and methodological aspects, and to combine them in a cross-cutting way and assess them in the light of the problem under investigation, in order to provide the information needed for environmental policies. Statistical methods and simulation models are indispensable tools for such processing and integration, enabling environmental monitoring data to be linked in space and time.
