Forest fires are a persistent global problem, causing devastating consequences such as loss
of human lives, harm to the environment, and substantial economic losses. To mitigate these …

Since the mid-1990s a new generation of Earth-observing satellites has been able to detect
tropospheric air pollution at increasingly high spatial and temporal resolution. Most primary …

Estimating population exposure to particulate matter during wildfires can be difficult because
of insufficient monitoring data to capture the spatiotemporal variability of smoke plumes …

Satellite remote sensing of air quality has evolved dramatically over the last decade. Global
observations are now available for a wide range of species including aerosols, tropospheric …

The recent literature on satellite remote sensing of air quality is reviewed. 2009 is the 50th
anniversary of the first satellite atmospheric observations. For the first 40 of those years …

Background Studies of chronic health effects due to exposures to particulate matter with
aerodynamic diameters≤ 2.5 μm (PM2. 5) are often limited by sparse measurements …

Satellite data of atmospheric pollutants are becoming more widely used in the decision-
making and environmental management activities of public, private sector and non-profit …

Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) is a measure of the columnar atmospheric aerosol content.
Satellite remote sensing has been used to retrieve AOD over land and ocean at spatial …

The Advanced Geostationary Radiation Imager (AGRI) onboard the Fengyun 4A (FY-4A)
satellite has high spatiotemporal resolution and provides useful spectral information that can …

Atmospheric aerosol is a suspension of liquid and solid particles, with radii varying from a
few nm to larger than 100 μm, in air. The particles can be directly emitted into the …
