  1. Applications of Satellite Remote Sensing to Inform Air Quality Management Randall Martin with contributions from Aaron van Donkelaar, Brian Boys, Matthew Cooper, ShaileshKharol, Colin Lee, Sajeev Philip DavenHenze (UC Boulder), Yuxuan Wang (Tsinghua), Qiang Zhang (Tsinghua), Dan Crouse (Health Canada), Rick Burnett (Health Canada), Mike Brauer (UBC), Jeff Brook (Environment Canada), Aaron Cohen (HEI) Fall AGU San Francisco 3 Dec 2012

  2. Vast Regions Have Insufficient Measurements for Exposure Assessment to Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) Locations of Publicly-Available Long-Term PM2.5 Monitoring Sites Previous WHO Global Burden of Disease Project for the Year 2000Impaired by Insufficient Global Observations of PM2.5 Cohen et al., 2005

  3. General Approach to Estimate Surface Concentration Daily Satellite(MODIS, MISR, SeaWifs, OMI) Column of AOD or NO2 Coincident Model (GEOS-Chem) Profile Altitude Concentration • S→ Surface Concentration • Ω → Tropospheric column

  4. Climatology (2001-2006) of MODIS- and MISR-Derived PM2.5 Included in current Global Burden of Disease report Evaluation in North America: r=0.77 slope = 1.07 N=1057 Outside Canada/US N = 244 (84 non-EU) r = 0.83 (0.83) Slope = 0.86 (0.91) Bias = 1.15 (-2.64) μg/m3 EHP Paper of the Year van Donkelaar et al., EHP, 2010

  5. Significant Association of Long-term PM2.5 Exposure and Cardiovascular Mortality at Low PM2.5 Crouse et al., EHP, 2012

  10. Enhanced Algorithm to Infer PM2.5 from MODIS • Optimal Estimation AOD • CALIOP-adjusted AOD/PM2.5 Chemical Transport Model a priori AOD Observed TOA reflectance a posteriori AOD • Optimal Estimation allows: • Error-constrained AOD solution • Consistent optical properties • Local reflectance information MODIS Imaging Spectroradiometer CALIOP Space-borne LIDAR observational error a priori error Optimal Estimation constrains AOD retrieval by error: van Donkelaar et al., in prep

Numerous Opportunities to Inform Air Quality Management through Satellite Remote Sensing and Modeling • Particulate matter is major risk factor for global mortality • Evidence of no lower limit on the health effects of PM2.5 • Controls on Chinese NOx emissions reduce PM2.5 • SPARTAN and CALIOP evaluate AOD/PM2.5 simulation • Asian PM2.5 increasing by 1-2 ug/m3/yr • Optimal estimation improves retrieval of PM2.5 • Satellite-based indicator of air pollution from PM2.5 and NO2 Acknowledgements: NSERC, Environment Canada, Health Canada, NASA
