Monitoring remote sensing technology

Monitoring and Measuring Technologies using the latest in Satellite-Based Remote Sensing (e.g., NASA s EOSDIS). 

Monitoring pollutants in a variety of composition ranges in motor vehicle and chemical process exhaust gases is a major area of research in pollution abatement technology. Low-temperature CO oxidation catalysts are needed for zero emission vehicles, CO gas sensors, selective oxidation of CO in H2 rich streams in fuel cell applications,1,2 and in closed-cycle C02 lasers used for remote sensing in space applications.3"5 Effective oxidation of CO during... 

An ozone monitor is an example of a continuous emission sampler based on absorption spectroscopy. A drop in beam intensity is proportional to ozone concentration in the chamber. Absorption spectrometers exist for sulfur and nitrogen oxides. This type of technology is portable and relatively inexpensive to run and can be used under field conditions, for example monitoring in-use emissions of motor vehicles. Absorption spectroscopy is also used in satellite remote sensing and has been adapted to remote sensing devices deployed on the ground to measure vehicular emissions. 

Industrial applications of Raman imaging fiberscope technology include remote sensing, waste tank inspection, in situ corrosion analysis, and reactor vessel monitoring. Potential clinical applications include minimally invasive optical biopsy.
