Heating season means pollution season

Bad air quality is one of the most serious threat to public health. Starting in autumn it becomes even more dangerous. Power consumption related to the heating system and road traffic is increasing, which leads to the increase of air pollution as well. What is more, lower temperatures are favorable conditions to keep air quality poor. This article presents how NO2 pollution changes from September to November in respect of temperature.

Monitoring floods using Python and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery

In the last decade, the number of extreme natural phenomena has dramatically increased, causing damage to people all around the world. According to statistics, the number of natural catastrophes is correlated with global warming. The rise in air temperature not only leads to droughts and global fires but also triggers extreme storms and large-scale floods. […]

Monitoring droughts with Earth observation data

Back to the list According to the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), July 2023 has set a new record as the warmest month ever recorded globally, with an average temperature of 16.95 degrees Celsius. This temperature surge is attributed to massive heatwaves that affected Europe, Asia, […]

Processing Sentinel-5P data using HARP and Python

Air quality is a crucial factor that impacts public health. Thanks to the satellite observations provided by TROPOMI onboard Senitnel-5P, hotspots of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) can be detected over the Earth every day. However, Sentinel-5P data needs to be prepared in a proper way to be useful for further analysis.
