Website tracks East Asian air pollution
The National Institute for Environmental Studies has launched a site that creates maps of East Asian air pollution levels:
The map shows the institute’s predictions of the distribution of four common pollutants — yellow sand, aerosols, ozone and other man-made particulates — in the atmosphere over East Asia.
The distributions for every three hours are displayed using a combination of emissions data and atmospheric flow modeling. The maps themselves are updated at 9 a.m. daily.
The site was only launched a few days ago, so there aren’t a lot of maps logged in its archives yet.
