      Stebel, Kerstin; Stachlewska, Iwona S.; Nemuc, Anca; Horálek, Jan; Schneider, Philipp (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The satellite based monitoring initiative for regional air quality (SAMIRA) initiative was set up to demonstrate the exploitation of existing satellite data for monitoring regional and urban scale air quality. The project ...
    • Satellite observations showed a negligible reduction in NO2 pollution due to COVID-19 lockdown over Poland 

      Ugboma, Emeka A.; Stachlewska, Iwona S.; Schneider, Philipp; Stebel, Kerstin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The tropospheric NO2 column from Sentinel-5P/TROPOMI (2018–2020) and Aura/OMI (2010–2020) over Poland, notably for 7 major Polish cities, was used to assess the annual variability and the COVID-19 lockdown effect. On a ...
