Abstract
Environmental control of pollution uses concentrations of particulate matter (PM) for evaluation of the pollution load. Retrievals of PM from satellite observations are supplementary information to ground-based national observation networks. A method of PM determination using retrievals of spectral aerosol optical thickness is described. The method has been applied to MERIS L1 data over Germany. PM retrievals from satellite observations have been compared with ground-based PM10 measurements of the Federal Environmental Agency, Umweltbundesamt (UBA).
