Estimation of Stratospheric Ozone Concentration over Southern Nigeria using Neural Network: Case Study of Lagos and Port Harcourt
Abstract: The neural network model was developed to estimate the stratospheric ozone concentrations along with some meteorological parameters. The neural network was trained using monthly maximum data provided by Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) over a period of 43year (1970-2012) in the towns of Lagos and Port Harcourt Ozone concentration from the two stations was estimated using a surface meteorological variable as predictors for the …

Study in Variation of Ozone Concentration over Indian Subcontinent using Ozone Monitoring Instrument data
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE The paper gives an overview of a major application of remote sensing satellites in monitoring the ozone concentration present in the atmosphere. Ozone makes a significant contribution to the radiative balance of the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere and is an important constituent in the atmosphere, for it provides a protective shield against the harmful ultraviolet radiations. However, in the recent times, …

The State of Air Quality: Pollution Sources, Health Implications, and Future
Abstract: Air quality is a critical component of environmental health, significantly affecting human well-being and ecological balance. Poor air quality has been related to a variety of health issues, including respiratory and cardiovascular disorders, and it is a major cause of early death worldwide. Understanding the origins, kinds, and impacts of air pollutants is critical for establishing effective pollution-reduction initiatives. This review focuses on the principal pollutants that affect air quality, …

Recent Advances in Atmospheric Physics and Chemistry: Composition, Dynamics, and Impacts
Abstract: The Earth's atmosphere is vital for sustaining life and regulating climate. This review explores key aspects of atmospheric physics and chemistry, including atmospheric composition, the dynamics of greenhouse gases, ozone depletion, and the effects of aerosols and atmospheric pollutants. The interaction between anthropogenic emissions and natural processes, such as the carbon and nitrogen cycles, is crucial for understanding climate feedback mechanisms. The impact of photochemistry on air quality and the …

Aerosol to Suggest Climate Delineation
Abstract: Marine aerosol of submicron sized biogenic originated organic fraction is subtending persistently constitutively compared to drastic variation based on volcanic eruptions. Sulphur is studied to form acid aerosol where the basic constituent in the stratosphere is reduced comparatively. High concentrations of organic fraction have been found from aerosol in marine boundary layer (MBL). Marine aerosol chemical composition has been influenced by the yearly biological cycle of the ocean, and so …
