metadata.value: The purpose of the study is to assess the openness, availability and reliability of official information
  on sulfur dioxide emissions from 31 of the largest point anthropogenic sources
  located in Russia. For the assessment, a comparison was made of the amounts of emissions
  according to official reporting and remote sensing data. The set of reported data was formed
  using information from websites of Federal State Statistic Service and of Federal Service for
  Supervision of Natural Resources, as well as those contained in state reports on the ecological
  situation and on environmental protection or in public non-financial statements of large companies.
  Remote sensing dataset was downloaded from NASA Global Sulfur Dioxide Monitoring
  project website. Data comparison was carried out using statistical analysis methods. It is
  found that remote sensing data can be considered a standard of information openness and
  availability, while reported data is incomplete and requires significant efforts to collect. For
  the emissions up to 50 000 tons per year, the differences between the reported and remote
  sensing data can be explained solely by the uncertainty of satellite measures. With a larger
  amount, however, the remote sensing values are in general larger than reported ones, which
  may indicate imperfect systems of emission control from stationary sources, the presence of
  many unaccounted sources, or deliberate distortion of environmental information. Emission
  catalogues from satellite data can become an alternative and supplement to official reporting,
  as well as be used for control and surveillance activities and bringing to legal responsibility.
  Topical issues are publishing official environmental information in a form of open data, the
  development of mechanisms for public non-financial reporting of large companies, the study
  of the links between information transparency and reliability of the information, as well as the
  peculiarities of the formation of official reporting about environmental impact.
