Use of Envisat Meris Data for Aerosol Mapping over Athens (greece)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Satellite sensors of low, high or moderate spatial resolution have started to be used in the last decade to assess and map atmospheric pollution over and around cities. This paper presents preliminary results of the ESA “AO1495” project aiming at the acquisition and examination of Envisat MERIS data for monitoring air pollution (in terms of aerosol optical thickness) in the lower troposphere of the metropolitan area of AthensGreece. The results were validated against PM10 ground based aerosol measurements resulting in a high correlation.

Aerosol Remote Sensing over Ocean in Glint Contaminated Regions Using Aatsr and Meris
The Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer MERIS and the Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer AATSR instruments, both onboard ESA’s Environmental Satellite ENVISAT, provide similar spatial resolution and swath, but complementary information, encompassing different spectral domains and viewing geometries. Recent geophysical algorithms do not take advantage of a synergetic use of the measurem...
متن کاملEvaluation of the MERIS aerosol product over land with AERONET
The Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) launched in February 2002 on-board the ENVISAT spacecraft is making global observations of top-ofatmosphere (TOA) radiances. Aerosol optical properties are retrieved over land using Look-Up Table (LUT) based algorithm and surface reflectances in the blue and the red spectral regions. We compared instantaneous aerosol optical thicknesses retriev...

One of the objectives of the ENVISAT project AO-164 on “Environmental Research in the Eastern Alps” is the development of algorithms for retrieval of water quality parameters of lakes from MERIS data. In order to test and validate atmospheric correction algorithms and to provide basic data for the development of algorithms for retrieval of limnological parameters and aerosol loadings, several f...
متن کاملUse of Meris Data for Land Cover Mapping in the Netherlands
The Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) is a payload component of Envisat-1. MERIS is operated over land with a standard 15 band setting acquiring images in the VIS and NIR part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Data are acquired at 300 m (full resolution) and 1200 m (reduced resolution) spatial resolution over land, thus vegetation can be monitored at regional to global scales. Major...
متن کاملA Technique for Aerosol Retrieval over Land from Meris Data
In this paper we present an aerosol retrieval over land algorithm specifically designed for the ENVISAT MERIS sensor, with the aim of the atmospheric correction of the data. The fundamental basis lies on a multiple parameter inversion for spectrally heterogeneous sets of five pixels in a window inside the image, considering invariant the atmosphere in this window. In the modellization of the To...
