The WEBAIR-2 project”: WEB and 3G mobile phone based Air Quality management: particulates, public health, co-benefits,

This paper presents an overview ofthe general methodology followed in the ‘WebAir-2’ project (Eureka Project). WEBAIR-2 will follow-up on E!3266 WEBAIR, extending scope and IT technologies employed to (1) particulates (PM10/2.5) emission modelling and public health, (2) CO2/GHG emissions, energy efficiency and the co-benefits between Kyoto targets and air pollution, and (3) use of 3G mobile phone technology. In detail specific particulates PM10 and PM2.5 will be modelled based on remote sensing data and techniques for large-scale synoptic observations. Due to inadequate spatial-temporal coverage of air pollution from existing air pollution stations, MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) products will assist to this task both spatial and temporal. The statistical AOD (Aerosol Optical Depth) model will be cross-validated during satellite overpass based on handheld sun-photometers and daily CIMEL sun-photometer (NASA/AERONET network) measurements. Moreover ground LIDAR measurements for vertical distribution of the aerosols will be carried out. The results will be validated with ground data from air quality stations.
