Ecologic assessment of air pollution by nitrogen dioxide over the territory of Europe using Earth remote sensing data
P. 126–130.
For the first time, using satellite Earth remote sensing data, the maps of air pollution risks by nitrogen dioxide (NO2) over the territory of Europe with spatial resolution of 0.25º×0.25º (approximately 27.5 km × 18 km for the 48º latitude) were created. The suggested risk calculation technique is simple yet delivers extensive understanding of typical air pollution character. It is shown that the highest risks of air pollution by nitrogen dioxide in Europe are observed over Germany, Belgium, Netherlands and southern part of the North Sea as well as over large cities.

Legacy soil maps remain essential for national land-use planning. However, their thematic accuracy and spatial resolution are often insufficient for contemporary applications requiring reliable estimates. This study presents a digital soil-mapping approach to update legacy soil information without extensive field sampling, demonstrated for arable lands in the Republic of Tatarstan (4.5 million ha). The proposed ...

Today, the majority of the world’s population lives in urban environments, where they are constantly exposed to dust particles of varying sizes, including urban dust nanoparticles (NPs). The minute size of NPs ensures their quick and efficient penetration into inner body parts, where they can interact with many cell types, including epithelial, endothelial, and immune ...

The present study focuses on greenhouse gas emissions from wastewater treatment and sewage sludge disposal at landfill. Traces of ammonium, dihydrosulfide, phenol, formaldehyde, various hydrocarbons, and mercaptans have been identified. The dynamics of these gases are especially intense during the purification process from grids to aerotanks. Methane concentrations fluctuated more than sixfold in the wastewater ...

Randomized machine learning focuses on problems with considerable uncertainty in data and models. Machine learning algorithms are formulated in terms of a functional entropylinear programming problem. We adapt these algorithms to forecasting problems on an example of the evolution of thermokarst lakes area in permafrost zones. Thermokarst lakes generate methane, a greenhouse gas affecting climate ...

Forest is a multi-layered canopy, where overstory and understory implement different biogeochemical cycles, phenology and functional role. Remote sensing products typically estimate forest total Leaf Area Index (LAI), while few quantify its components. The theoretical understanding of foliage distribution between layers is still quite limited. In this study we’ve developed a semi-empirical model for decomposition ...

Global warming has made the Arctic increasingly available for marine operations and created a demand for reliable operational sea ice forecasts to increase safety. Because ocean-ice numerical models are highly computationally intensive, relatively lightweight ML-based methods may be more efficient for sea ice forecasting. Many studies have exploited different deep learning models alongside classical approaches ...
