Major Field of Science: | Natural Sciences;Engineering and Technology | Field Category: | NATURAL SCIENCES;ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;Civil Engineering | Keywords: | Back-trajectories;Ceilometer;Early detection system;Near-real-time monitoring;Photometer | Issue Date: | 1-Mar-2022 | Source: | Remote Sensing, 2022, vol 14, iss. 5 | Volume: | 14 | Issue: | 5 | Journal: | Remote Sensing | Abstract: | A near-real-time automatic detection system, based on the synergy of continuous measurements taken by a ceilometer and a photometer, has been implemented in order to detect lofted atmospheric aerosol layers and estimate the aerosol load. When heavy-loaded conditions are detected (defined by a significant deviation of the optical properties from a 10-year climatology), obtained for aerosol layers above 2500 m, an automatic alert is sent to scientists of the Romanian Lidar Network (ROLINET) to further monitor the event. The Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) back-trajectory calculations are used to establish the possible pollution source. The aerosol transport events are considered to be major when various optical properties provided by the photometer are found outside the climatological values. The aerosol types over the three years for all the events identified revealed that the contribution to the pollution was 31%, 9%, and 60% from marine, dust, and continental types. Considering only the ‘outside climatology limits’ events, the respective contribution was 15%, 12%, and 73% for marine, dust, and continental types, respectively. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/30742 | ISSN: | 20724292 | DOI: | 10.3390/rs14051217 | Rights: | © by the authors | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | National Institute of Research and Development for Optoelectronics INOE 2000 National Observatory of Athens University of Warsaw SEPCOIII Electric Power Construction Co. |
