Abstract

Satellite monitoring systems can be used for remote monitoring of the atmosphere over a given area but they do not provide information on the state of pollution at a given time. Additional information could only be obtained after several days. Measurements from an aircraft may be obtained almost at real-time and in different geometries – vertical and horizontal. The future of this type of monitoring is remote-controlled unmanned aerial vehicles (airplanes, helicopters and balloons tethered), equipped with telemetric monitoring.

Highlights

  • Atmospheric pollution consists of dust, gases and liquid vapours emitted by natural sources or by anthropogenic sources

  • Gas pollution coming from natural sources is mostly: carbon oxide, carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and ammonia, while pollution of anthropogenic origin includes: nitrogen oxide, hydrocarbon, mercury vapour, carbon monoxides, sulphur monoxides and volatile organic compounds

  • The environmental vector velocity is determined on the basis of radial constituent for each direction
