Dataset on the current state of air pollution in Bussau-Guinea Bussau: A diagnostic approach

Recent UN report shows that over 100,000 people die from air pollution. The general anthropoenic pollution from Sahara desert, fossil-fuel engines and bush-burning needs to be reduced to avoid natural accidents, regional climate change etc. A fifteen years dataset was obtained from the Multi-angle Imaging Spectro-Radiometer (MISR). The dataset generated from the primary dataset would assist to understand the state of air pollution over Bussau. It also serves as a reference to guide the choice of ground measuring equipments in the area. The aerosol constant and tunning constant over Bussau is 0.6694 and 0.1354 respectively. The maximum percentage aerosol loading is given as 14.8%.

Dataset on aerosol loading and deposition over Nouakchott-Mauritania

Aerosol optical depth (AOD) is a vital parameter that determines air quality over a geographic enclave. In this paper, the pollution state of Nouakchott-Mauritania was considered. Fifteen years primary (aerosol optical depth) dataset was obtained from the Multi-angle Imaging Spectro-Radiometer (MISR). The secondary datasets were generated from the primary dataset to understand the short and long term effect of aerosol loading over nouakchott. The dataset is important to resolve the ground effect of satellite measurements.
