Environmental information systems
The original EMEP grids have been reprojected into the European standard projection in order to facilitate re-use of EMEP information on air emissions, deposition and critical loads in EEA map products. Organisations responsible for delivering national data to EMEP should always use the grid in polar stereographic projection as provided by EMEP (http://www.emep.int/grid/index.html). EEA has reprojected the grid used by

EEA Reference grid
The grid is based on the recommendation at the 1st European Workshop on Reference Grids in 2003 and later INSPIRE geographical grid systems. For each country three vector polygon grid shape files, 1, 10 and 100 km, are available. The grids cover at least country borders - plus 15km buffer - and, where applicable, marine Exclusive Economic Zones v7.0 - plus 15km buffer - (www.vliz.be/vmdcdata/marbound).
Note that the extent of the grid into the marine area does not reflect the extent of the territorial waters.
EEA Marine Assessment Grid
The Marine reference grid is based on the EEA reference grid. The Marine reference grid is the basis for marine assessment results that have been spatially mapped to the grid in order to ensure that data can be compared in a uniform way across the European regional seas.
Urban Sprawl (LEAC Grid)
The Urban Sprawl datasets shows the physically expanding urban areas - the spatial arrangement of built-up areas and their utilization. The European Environment Agency (EEA) has described sprawl as the physical pattern of low-density expansion of large urban areas, under market conditions, mainly into the surrounding agricultural areas. Sprawl is the leading edge of urban growth and implies little planning control of land subdivision urban sprawl metrics .
