New images processed on ONDA showing the effects of the coronavirus lockdown on air quality

Further to our first article on The effects of the coronavirus lockdown on air quality: a comparative analysis of satellite data, more images have been processed on the ONDA platform in order to compare the presence of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in the atmosphere before and during the coronavirus lockdown.
 
Data from Sentinel-5P have been used to map the average distribution of the tropospheric concentration of NO2 from multiple acquisitions during the period 15 March-15 April 2020, and compared to the [...]

The effects of the coronavirus lockdown on air quality: a comparative analysis of satellite data

March 2019

March 2020

Several images have been processed on the ONDA platform with the aim to compare the presence of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in the atmosphere before and during the current lockdown in Europe.
Satellite data
For this purpose, data from the Sentinel-5P TROPOMI instrument have been used: the spectrometer maps a multitude of trace gases, such as nitrogen dioxide, ozone, formaldehyde, sulphur dioxide, methane, carbon monoxide and aerosols.
NO2 and lockdown
NO2 emissions are a major air pollutant, and are closely linked to [...]
