Overview

TRACER

TRACER is an integrated satellite data portal that aims to track ship activities and measure NO2 pollution in regions near shipping lanes. It has received the Open Science award in the EO Dashboard Hackathon:

award

Solutions

  • An interactive tool is developed to show ship activities and NO2 pollution by combining all available data together.
  • The analysis generated by the interactive tool can help us understand how COVID-19 and weather affect the patterns between shipping dynamics and observed air quality parameters.
  • The pandemic and machine learning provide the unique opportunity of identifying shipping routes and exploring the effects of ship pollution over heavily populated areas.

Data, Method, and Code

This Section introduces the tools we used for tracking ship pollution using available reanalysis data, ship traffic tracks, and satellite observations.

Ship Density

Variation of ship density (seasonal and pandemic effect).

Ship and NO2

The relationship between ship tracks and NO2 pollutant.

Machine Learning

Predicting NO2 under different conditions.
