  1. Global Estimates of Ambient PM2.5 Concentrations from Satellite AOD Aaron van Donkelaar with contributions from: Randall Martin, Brian Boys, Crystal Weagle, and Graydon Snider VIIRS Aerosol Science and Operational Users Workshop November 21-22, 2013

  2. PM2.5 affects human health and longevity • Life expectancy increases 7 months per 10 μg/m3 decrease in long-term exposure • PM2.5 regulation achieved largest gains of all U.S. Federal Regulation • Dominates global environmental mortality by 2030 Particulate Matter Ground-level Ozone Unsafe Water Supplyand Sanitation Indoor Air Pollution Malaria 2010 2030 2050 0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 Deaths (millions of people) OECD, 2012

  3. Vast Regions Have Insufficient Measurements for Air Pollution Exposure Assessment Locations of Publicly Accessible Long-Term PM2.5 Monitoring Sites Emerging Network Monitor locations can be driven by compliance objectives ~1 site / 10,000 km2 in continental US & southern Canada

  4. Previous Global Burden of Disease Report for 2000Impaired by Insufficient Global Observations of Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) Estimate air pollution in urban areas causes: • ~1 million deaths (~1%) Could not estimate effects outside of urban areas for 2000 report Could this be improved with satellite remote sensing? Cohen et al., 2005

  5. AOD is related to PM2.5…but how to separate surface aerosol from column concentrations? • PM2.5 / AOD ratio is a function of: • vertical structure • aerosol type/hygroscopicity • meteorology Multiple approaches: • surface monitors calibration • empirical relations • model output 20 80 140 PM2.5 / AOD [μg/m3] GEOS-Chem v8-01-04

  8. Global impact of global data Global Burden of Disease 2010 • 488 authors from 303 institutions in 50 countries • Inclusion of rural populations • PM2.5 causal role in 3 million deaths per year Lim et al., Lancet, 2012 • Inform Epidemiological Studies: • Global childhood asthma (Anderson et al., 2012) • Lung cancer in Canada (Hystad et al., 2012) • Mortality in California (Jerrett et al., 2013) • Diabetes(Brook et al., 2013; Chen et al., 2013) • Global adverse birth outcomes (Fleisher et al., in press) • Hypertension(Chen et al., in press) • Low PM2.5 cardiovascular mortality (Crouse et al., 2012) Crouse et al., EHP, 2012

  9. Global in situ monitors are sparse...and far from AERONET • PM2.5 estimates accuracy impacted by • AOD retrieval • Simulated aerosol vertical profile • Mass to extinction conversion • Sampling (clouds/snow) • Difficult to evaluate error sources • SPARTAN network collocates PM2.5 and AOD measurements • Satellite-derived PM2.5 evaluation, analysis, www.spartan-network.org Airphoton PM2.5 (Vanderlei Martins) Filter PM2.5 Filter PM10 3-λNephelometer AOD from CIMEL Sunphotometer (e.g. AERONET)

CALIOP allows vertical profile correction 5 4 3 2 1 0 GEOS-Chem CALIOP Determine profile accuracy: • Compare with CALIOP space-borne lidar • Match optical properties • Long-term (2006-2011) comparisons Altitude [km] 0 2 4 6 8 0 0.5 1 1.5 1.9 Relative Profile Ratio Relative Profile 2 1.5 1 0.5 June-August 2006-2011 van Donkelaar et al., JGR, 2013

  17. Simulated values can constrain retrievals Optimal estimation constrains AOD retrieval by error: • GEOS-Chem provides: • AOD/PM2.5 relationship • A priori values observed TOA reflectance a priori AOD • Satellites provide: • High resolution (0.1°× 0.1°) • Observational constraint • Column-integrated value a posteriori AOD observational error Available from 2004-2011 a priori error 40 30 20 10 0 15 10 5 0 OE PM2.5[μg/m3] OE PM2.5 [μ g/m3] 0 10 20 30 40 2005 In situ PM2.5 [μg/m3] van Donkelaar et al., JGR, 2013
