چکیده
Air quality monitoring in cities is significant for both human health and environment. Here, an innovative miniaturized active air sampler wearable by free-flying birds presented. The device integrates a GPS logger atmospheric calibrated sensors allowing high spatiotemporal resolution measurements of carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration, barometric pressure, temperature, relative humidity. A field campaign, carried out from January to June 2021, involved the repeated release homing pigeons (Columba livia) downtown Rome (Italy), sample on their way back loft, located rural area city. suggest importance green urban areas decreasing CO2 levels. Moreover, positive relation between levels, humidity, temperature was revealed. In contrast, negative with distance point release, month, time day found. Flight speed altitude flight were related rising easy use such devices paves application samplers other synanthropic species (i.e., gulls), making convenient biomonitors

LIDAR System based on a High Brightness Semiconductor Laser and Single Photon Counting Detection for Space-borne Atmospheric CO2 Monitoring
High brightness semiconductor lasers are potential transmitters for future space LIDAR systems. In this contribution, we propose an all-semiconductor laser source for an Integrated Path Differential Absorption LIDAR system for column-averaged measurements of atmospheric CO2 in future satellite missions. The transmitter design is based on two monolithic Master Oscillator Power Amplifiers, provid...
متن کاملMonitoring and interpreting the ocean uptake of atmospheric CO2.
The oceans are an important sink for anthropogenically produced CO(2), and on time scales longer than a century they will be the main repository for the CO(2) that humans are emitting. Our knowledge of how ocean uptake varies (regionally and temporally) and the processes that control it is currently observation-limited. Traditionally, and based on sparse observations and models at coarse resolu...

15 صفحه اولCharacterization of Aerosols and Atmospheric Parameters from Space-borne and Surface-based Remote Sensing
During FY98, we have pursued two projects on studying dust aerosols off the coast of Africa: one is the remote sensing of dust over land, and the other is the use of ground-based and space-borne instruments to characterize the dust properties. Although the Landsat TM has limited spectral capability between 0.47 and 2.1 μm, we plan to apply similar techniques to the hyperspectral AVIRIS data. Th...
