Last week, we continued our fieldwork as part of the TNA-AQUE project (TransNational Access Air Quality in Urban Environment), focusing on urban-scale air quality monitoring over Warsaw, Poland.
The second phase of our airborne campaign offered a valuable opportunity to gather vertical air quality profiles, providing critical data on the distribution and behavior of pollutants across different layers of the urban atmosphere. These profiles are essential for enhancing our understanding of pollutant dynamics in complex urban environments.
During the campaign, we equipped an air balloon with several advanced instruments, including:
- A Multi-Gas Meter
- A Gas Analyser DUVAS 3000
- Five GrayWolf PM counters
- Additional PM sensors provided by NEBO (Learn more about NEBO)
The data collected during these flights will significantly contribute to improving our air quality models and simulations, offering deeper insights into urban pollutant behavior and distribution. As the project progresses, our next steps will focus on preparing scientific publications, including detailed modelling of the monitored area.
