| Zusammenfassung |
| There is increasing interest in making high-resolution measurements of greenhouse gases and
pollutants in urban areas to help discern source contributions, monitor pollution migration,
and validate air quality models. Currently, these applications are limited by the poor spatial
resolution of fixed air monitoring stations. We present very high-resolution measurements of
CO2, CH4, H2O, and NO2 taken throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, California using a
mobile monitoring platform. These measurements cover several highly urban and coastal
regions that were repeatedly monitored over the course of a month. The data clearly shows
the presence of several discrete sources and the migration of pollution through adjacent
neighborhoods. Moreover, this validation study demonstrates the ease of mobile
monitoring and the possibility of extending this platform to several other gas species. |
