Atmospheric pollutants in Rosario, Argentina analysed through remote sensing: Wildfires and COVID-19 lockdown effects
Spatial-temporal dynamics of atmospheric pollutants can be analysed by space-based observations, contributing to environmental management and public health interventions. The influence of wildfires and anthropogenic activities on air quality is studied for the city of Rosario and its surroundings, including both urban and non-urban areas. Utilizing advanced satellite-based observations, we assess Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2). The study employs Multi-Angle Implementation of Atmospheric Correction (MAIAC) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites for AOD analysis. NO2 measurements were derived from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on the Aura satellite. Backward trajectory analysis using Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) shows the connection between fire pixels and air masses reaching Rosario. During the COVID-19 lockdown, a period with no significant fire events in the studied region was selected. This provided, for the first time, a baseline on the AOD median value of 0.05 for Rosario city and its surroundings, while NO2 total column median values were close to 3.00 x 1015 molecules/cm2. In a business-as-usual scenario, AOD increased by approximately 52.8% (March 2022) up to 111.3% (March 2019). NO2 median values remain almost the same (March 2019) or reached a median value of 3.38 x 1015 molecules/cm2 (March 2022). During wildfire events, such as March 2023, AOD surged by around 50.9%–108.6% compared to the business-as-usual scenario (March 2019 and March 2022, respectively). NO2 median values ranged from 3.52 x 1015 molecules/cm2 (March 2023) to 3.66 x 1015 molecules/cm (March 01, 2020 to March 19, 2020). NO2 levels correlated with intense fire periods. The analysis provides valuable insights into the complex interplay between natural events, human activities, and air quality dynamics in the region.
期刊介绍:
The journal ''Remote Sensing Applications: Society and Environment'' (RSASE) focuses on remote sensing studies that address specific topics with an emphasis on environmental and societal issues - regional / local studies with global significance. Subjects are encouraged to have an interdisciplinary approach and include, but are not limited by: " -Global and climate change studies addressing the impact of increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases, CO2 emission, carbon balance and carbon mitigation, energy system on social and environmental systems -Ecological and environmental issues including biodiversity, ecosystem dynamics, land degradation, atmospheric and water pollution, urban footprint, ecosystem management and natural hazards (e.g. earthquakes, typhoons, floods, landslides) -Natural resource studies including land-use in general, biomass estimation, forests, agricultural land, plantation, soils, coral reefs, wetland and water resources -Agriculture, food production systems and food security outcomes -Socio-economic issues including urban systems, urban growth, public health, epidemics, land-use transition and land use conflicts -Oceanography and coastal zone studies, including sea level rise projections, coastlines changes and the ocean-land interface -Regional challenges for remote sensing application techniques, monitoring and analysis, such as cloud screening and atmospheric correction for tropical regions -Interdisciplinary studies combining remote sensing, household survey data, field measurements and models to address environmental, societal and sustainability issues -Quantitative and qualitative analysis that documents the impact of using remote sensing studies in social, political, environmental or economic systems
