Remote Dust Monitoring systems

Given the uncertainty regarding future dust emissions and their potential large impact in human lives and the economy, the importance of deploying alert mechanisms for dust storms is imperative
These should include advanced observation systems and forecasting, tightly integrated in effective early warning systems, that will improve preparedness and emergency response

Air pollution in cities and industrial areas

Air pollution is a key environmental and social issue, and, at the same time, it is a complex problem posing multiple challenges in terms of management and mitigation of harmful pollutants. Air pollutants are emitted from anthropogenic and natural sources; they may be either emitted directly (primary pollutants) or formed in the atmosphere (as secondary pollutants). They have many impacts on health, ecosystems, the built environment and the climate; they may be transported or formed over long distances; and they may affect large areas

Why choose a Remote Dust Monitoring system from

Raymetrics?

Accurate detection and quantification of dust aerosol, from the ground up to 20 km altitude


Vertical profiling for dust can be used as a bridge between in situ and satellite observations


Remotely detects incoming dust and indicates time of arrival, helping forecasters for early warning scenarios


Remote sensing observations with Raymetrics systems based in LIDAR technique provide:

- near real time monitoring
- model data, verification/validation
- model data assimilation
- regional aerosol characterization
