Yinchuan City within Northwest China - GROUND-Based Remote Sensing Aerosol Optical Properties

A ground-based sky radiometer was used to evaluate straight and scattering solar irradiances, as well as aureole radiances, from October 2003 to August 2004 within Yinchuan in China. Aerosol particles optical depth AOD, Angstrom exponent (ALPHA), degree size circulation, refraction index and distinct scattering albedo of aerosols were simultaneously reclaimed by means of th

Current progress in Mid-IR semiconductor laser technology established on inter-sub-band changed like quantum wells assure a remarkable impact on tunable diode laser-based sensors for trace gases

Multiyear Satellite Total Ozone Column Dimension within West Africa

Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS*) mechanisms have been flown on NASA/*GSFC satellites more than 20 years. They present close to realdnine ~o/.?one data pro Atmospheric Science Research. As elemental of preface energy structured to build up a Lidar base in Nigeria for monitoring the atmospheric ozone and aerosol stratum. The monthly mean TOMS* total column ozone measurements amid 1978~1999 have been evaluated. The tendency of the total column ozone illustrates a spatial and sequential dissimilarity with cryptogram of the Quasi Biennial Oscillation (QBO) all through this 21-year research epoch; The standards of TOMS* total ozone vertical, over Nigeria (4-15o

Radiance simulations of selected atmospheric species at different observer attitudes for ground-based FTIR spectroscopy: implications for aerosol polluted sites in West Africa

The pure air and clear sky conditions necessary for continuous Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) measurements of trace gases are issues of concern for West African sites. This is due to possible severe interruption by Sahara dust outbreak, which leaves trails throughout the year. Using data simulated by means of an atmospheric radiative transfer code, it is strengthened that the lower strengths observed for selected trace gas absorption spectra for higher observation altitudes may imply that increasing measurement altitudes or initiating balloon measurements to avoid aerosols and its associated haze conditions would be at the risk of managing reduced FTIR signatures. Continuous FTIR measurements in aerosol-polluted regions on the other hand can be a novel method for establishing more links between mineral aerosols and trace gas mixing ratios and or heterogeneous chemistry.

BOOSTING THE HARVESTING OF NIGERIA’S ABUNDANT RENEWABLE ENERGY POTENTIALS AND LEGAL IMPLICATIONS: Received: 02nd May 2022; Revised: 13th June 2022, 28th June 2022; Accepted: 29th June 2022

Renewable energy has been highlighted not only as a means of satisfying the energy needs of Nigerians but also as a tool for the country's growth, thereby improving the income of the citizens who have more energy to work with, serving as the energy source for domestic and office use, in addition to reducing the carbon footprint from the conventional fossil fuels. From data obtained from the Photovoltaic Geographic Information System (PVGIS), the solar electricity potential at some selected cities in Southern Nigeria that ranges from 4.5 to 6.5 kWh/m2 has been presented as a tool, which when properly harnessed, can be used to mitigate avoidable energy-related “national disasters” such as unemployment and youth-restiveness, thereby accelerating Nigeria’s development. There is the urgent need to revise and effectively implement helpful laws and policies that support the addition of renewable energy sources for electricity generation. Lack of a coherent legal framework with incentives for the utilization of renewable energy is among the key factors causing poor utilization of renewable energy in Nigeria. Governmental and stakeholder collaboration is highly necessary for developing countries to robustly track renewable electricity adoption via laws aimed at boosting its adoption
