Two-dimensional remote air-pollution monitoring via tomography.

چکیده
We propose to apply computerized tomography to measure a two-dimensional pollutant-concentration map over an area that may contain several potential sources of pollution. A tunable-laser source at the center of the area generates secondary or virtual light sources around the perimeter of the area that play the role of x rays in conventional computerized tomography of the human body.

متن کاملA comparison of strategies for estimation of ultrafine particle number concentrations in urban air pollution monitoring networks.
We propose three estimation strategies (local, remote and mixed) for ultrafine particles (UFP) at three sites in an urban air pollution monitoring network. Estimates are obtained through Gaussian process regression based on concentrations of gaseous pollutants (NOx, O3, CO) and UFP. As local strategy, we use local measurements of gaseous pollutants (local covariates) to estimate UFP at the same...

متن کاملModel studies of laser absorption computed tomography for remote air pollution measurement.
Laser absorption computed tomography offers the possibility of sensitive remote atmospheric measurements of pollutants over kilometer sized areas with 2-D resolution at modest laser source powers. We present detailed model studies which demonstrate the potential of this new remote sensing technique. The tomographic reconstruction process is studied as a function of measurement signal to noise, ...
