Satellite observations of air quality, climate and volcanic eruptions
Nitrogen oxides (NOx, the collective name for NO and NO2) play an important role in atmospheric chemistry and in the climate system as precursor of tropospheric ozone, an important greenhouse gas. The most important source of NOx is the combustion of fossil fuels, mainly by traffic and large power plants. Other important contributors are the burning of biomass, soil emissions and lightning. Clo...
متن کاملMODIS and OMI satellite observations supporting air quality monitoring.
Within the framework of air quality monitoring, measurements by Earth-observing satellite sensors are combined here with regional meteorological and chemical transport models. Two satellite-derived products developed within the QUITSAT project, regarding significant pollutants including PM(2.5) and NO(2), are presented. Estimates of PM(2.5) concentrations at ground level were obtained using mod...
متن کاملA New Structural Matching Method Based on Linear Features for High Resolution Satellite Images
Along with commercial accessibility of high resolution satellite images in recent decades, the issue of extracting accurate 3D spatial information in many fields became the centre of attention and applications related to photogrammetry and remote sensing has increased. To extract such information, the images should be geo-referenced. The procedure of georeferencing is done in four main steps...
متن کاملHigh resolution aerosol data from MODIS satellite for urban air quality studies
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) provides daily global coverage, but the 10 km resolution of its aerosol optical depth (AOD) product is not suitable for studying spatial variability of aerosols in urban areas. Recently, a new Multi-Angle Implementation of Atmospheric Correction (MAIAC) algorithm was developed for MODIS which provides AOD at 1 km resolution. Using MAIAC ...
