Remote Dust Monitoring systems

Given the uncertainty regarding future dust emissions and their potential large impact in human lives and the economy, the importance of deploying alert mechanisms for dust storms is imperative
These should include advanced observation systems and forecasting, tightly integrated in effective early warning systems, that will improve preparedness and emergency response

Air pollution in cities and industrial areas

Air pollution is a key environmental and social issue, and, at the same time, it is a complex problem posing multiple challenges in terms of management and mitigation of harmful pollutants. Air pollutants are emitted from anthropogenic and natural sources; they may be either emitted directly (primary pollutants) or formed in the atmosphere (as secondary pollutants). They have many impacts on health, ecosystems, the built environment and the climate; they may be transported or formed over long distances; and they may affect large areas

Why choose a Remote Dust Monitoring system from
Raymetrics?

Accurate detection and quantification of dust aerosol, from the ground up to 20 km altitude

Vertical profiling for dust can be used as a bridge between in situ and satellite observations

Remotely detects incoming dust and indicates time of arrival, helping forecasters for early warning scenarios

Remote sensing observations with Raymetrics systems based in LIDAR technique provide:

  • near real time monitoring
  • model data, verification/validation
  • model data assimilation
  • regional aerosol characterization

Distinguish dust from other aerosol types (e.g. urban pollution, smoke), based on state-of-the-art aerosol depolarization measurements

Helps local Authorities to conform to AQD Directive (EC,2008)

Remote Dust Monitoring systems for higher efficiency in observations

Unlike any other sensors, Raymetrics products are the only systems to provide, scientific-grade dust measurements up to 20Km

Measurement

  • of particulate pollutants with advanced LIDAR remote sensing system
  • of gaseous pollutants by Max-DOAS remote sensing system
  • of gas and particulate pollutants by on-site methods and sampling (In situ meters)

Modelling

Modelling the dispersion of pollutants into the atmosphere. The simulation of emissions is done by combining the WRF-ARW atmospheric model to provide high-resolution grid data and the FLEXPART dispersion model to simulate the dispersion of pollutants. Considering the lifetime of each pollutant in the atmosphere, it is possible to relate the emissions to that source

Intelligent remote sensing advantages

  • It works day and night as it is based on its own source of radiation
  • It gives near real-time results, since no sampling and time-consuming chemical analyses are required
  • Fully automated-remotely controlled
Integrated Solutions
