Applications
- 5.8.1 Urban PM2.5 Mapping — Mapping fine particulate matter concentrations across cities at neighbourhood scale by fusing multispectral aerosol optical depth retrievals with ground-truth calibration.
- 5.8.2 NO₂ Emissions Tracking — Measuring nitrogen dioxide column densities from orbit to attribute emissions to specific industries, transport corridors and power plants with sub-city spatial resolution.
- 5.8.3 Wildfire Smoke Monitoring — Tracking the aerosol optical depth, particulate loading and toxic gas content of wildfire smoke plumes in near-real-time using a constellation of multispectral and UV-sensitive imagers.
- 5.8.4 Industrial Plume Surveillance — Detecting, characterising and attributing pollution plumes from industrial point sources — refineries, smelters, cement plants and power stations — using hyperspectral and thermal satellite imaging.
- 5.8.5 Cross-Border Pollution Attribution — Pinpointing the national source of transboundary air pollution plumes using satellite-derived chemistry, trajectory modelling and spectral fingerprinting to support diplomatic and legal claims.
