Atmospheric pollution by particulate matter (PM) is a continuing problem of urban agglomerations especially in Alpine valleys. High quality PM monitoring, with an appropriate spatial and a high temporal resolution is demanded by decision making authorities for developing counter measures and in order to inform the general public.
In close collaboration with the Province of Bolzano, the Institute for Applied Remote Sensing is currently carrying out research on methods to combine Earth Observation derived information (mainly MODIS, AVHRR and SEVERI data) with in-situ observation networks. The objective is to increase the precision of area wide PM assessments with the final goal of providing an operational supply of PM data for South Tyrol in Near-Real time. These activities are relying on the provision of EO data from the Institute's receiving station.
