Belgian air quality as seen from LEO and GEO
Low-Earth and Geostationary Observations of BELgian Air Quality (LEGO-BEL-AQ) is a project funded by BELSPO under the BRAIN-be 2.0 programme. Its objective is to exploit the full spatio-temporal resolving power of the LEO and GEO Copernicus Atmospheric Sentinel missions to support air quality policies in Belgium.
This includes the production of high spatial resolution maps of NO2 based on S5p-TROPOMI data over Belgium, and R&D on the complementarity and synergies within the (future) LEO+GEO constellation.
