Space Sensors Reveal Air Pollution Sources

Posted October 22, 2007 12:08 PM

From ScienceDaily: Latest Science News:

Air pollution is becoming one of the biggest dangers for the future of the planet, causing premature deaths of humans and damaging flora and fauna. With their vantage point from space, satellites are the only way to carry out effective global measurements of air-polluting emissions and their transboundary movement. Scientists and researchers from around the world gathered at ESRIN, ESA's Earth Observation Centre in Frascati, Italy, recently to discuss the contribution of satellite data in monitoring nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere and to present the latest results of their ongoing atmospheric research that includes identifying hotspots, analysing trends and monitoring the effectiveness of mitigation efforts.

Interestingly, a link on this sites page presents a story of how NASA Goddard has determined that the ozone is the primary cause of the artic global warming trend.According to this new research, ozone was responsible for one-third to half of the observed warming trend in the Arctic during winter and spring. Ozone is transported from the industrialized countries in the Northern Hemisphere to the Arctic quite efficiently during these seasons.


I am interested in how this correlates to the recent report that the hole in the artic ozone is becomming smaller.
