ANSWER: The temporal variation of the shipping contribution indeed has a very high
correlation with the emission temporal profiles, as provided by the AIS data. Effects
of secondary production/transformation were present but we have not attempted to
resolve this effect due to the complicated dependence of concentration fields on local
meteorological flows.

calculation of emissions for the Piraeus port.
