| description | Remote sensing of particulate matter (PM) absolute concentration levels can address the need for continuous wide-area monitoring in urban environments, which arises from the adverse effects of air pollution on human health. Raymetrics PM<i>eye</i> is a unique aerosol monitoring system designed around a state-of-the-art polarization scanning UV lidar that offers large-area PM concentration monitoring and high spatial resolution source localization. The PM<i>eye</i> lidar employs a novel inversion scheme for converting raw lidar signals to PM concentrations. This study demonstrates the effectiveness and accuracy of remote monitoring PM concentration measurement results in the region of Attica, Greece. Potential synergistic use with inversion modeling techniques and dispersion models to support an advanced warning system for the population and local authorities of the Athens metropolitan area is also discussed. |
