News for smog

Tiny air particles over Delhi or Cairo absorb more water than previously thought and may therefore cool their regions more strongly. Researchers at Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS) in Leipzig used artificial intelligence to analyze global measurement data and show that climate models for polluted cities need to be improved.

Drones reveal hidden particulate matter over large cities

Ground measuring stations only show part of the air pollution. An international study with Leipzig's participation proves this: At an altitude of 100 meters, particulate matter pollution can be 60 percent higher. Drones with inexpensive sensors help to close this knowledge gap and improve predictions. | more
