Observing Global No2 Emissions From Space

This animated map uses information from the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-5P satellite to present NO2 emissions or as well as thus the world. The Sentinel 5P satellite is dedicated to monitoring air pollution. The satellite is able to feel ultraviolet, visible, close as well as short-wavelength infrared to monitor the sum of ozone, methane, formaldehyde, aerosol, carbon monoxide, NO2 as well as SO2 inwards the atmosphere.

This global composite map of nitrogen dioxide uses images captured yesteryear Sentinel-5P inwards August as well as September of final year. The composite map was made yesteryear Descartes Lab as well as is 1 of a serial of maps which tin move viewed inwards their article What We Burn Creates an Eerily Navigable Map of Earth. In the article Descartes Labs uses their NO2 maps to present where the human population as well as activeness or as well as thus the public is polluting the Earth. It besides shows where wildfires or as well as thus the public besides contribute to the sum of NO2 inwards the atmosphere.
