Abstract
BACKGROUND: Satellite monitoring of air pollutant levels is currently widely used alongside conventional methods for assessing atmospheric pollution. Satellite technologies provide information on atmospheric pollutant levels for various geographic coordinate ranges; however, their applicability, notably for assessing air quality in residential areas, is disputed.
AIM: The work aimed to assess atmospheric pollution in Cherepovets by comparing Sentinel-5P satellite data with Earth-based monitoring data.
METHODS: The study assessed geospatial data on atmospheric air quality in Cherepovets. Sentinel-5P satellite data provided by the European Space Agency under the Copernicus program were analyzed using Google Earth Engine-based software. Satellite monitoring data were compared with those from the Severstal open service for atmospheric air quality monitoring in Cherepovets.
RESULTS: Software for analyzing satellite monitoring data on atmospheric air quality in Cherepovets was developed using Google Earth Engine and JavaScript. Digital maps of nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide atmospheric pollution were created. Satellite monitoring data were compared with Severstal's Earth-based monitoring data.
CONCLUSION: Software for creating digital maps of atmospheric pollution by criteria pollutants (sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide) has been developed. The differences between satellite and Earth-based monitoring data on atmospheric pollution in Cherepovets were analyzed.
