Integrate Ground Data and Remote Sensing to Monitor SO2 and NO2 Pollution Over Northern UAE /Considering the Lockdown Period of the Covid-19 Pandemic

Sulfur dioxide and Nitrogen dioxide are two of the main air quality pollutants of concern generally in world countries. North of United Arab Emirates (UAE) urbanization and population growth are increasing all the daily activities related to pollution, which poses a threat to humans and the environment. The aim of this study was to investigate the Spatio-temporal distribution of SO2 and NO2 concentrations, resulting from seven ground stations and The Sentinel-5 Precursor multispectral sensor of the TROPOMI for the periods (2019,2020, and 2021). The data explained how the parameters have changed in the presence of the COVID-19 pandemic. SO2 and NO2 pollution monitoring and regulation assist to take proper steps to control the atmospheric concentration of SO2 and NO2 within the fair levels.
