Air Quality Assessment With PM MAPPER; PM MAPPER® allows extracting near surface particulate matter concentration maps automatically handling following inputs: MODIS data with resolution, 500m, 1 km; georeferencing information; ancillary data (atmospheric profiles, ice/snow cover, etc.); PM MAPPER® generates, as output: near surface PM10 concentration maps in µg/m3 at 1km x 1km. near surface PM2.5 concentration maps in µg/m3 at 1km x 1km. thematic maps representing the air quality index, based on the US Environmental. Protection Agency (EPA 2006) classification criteria at 1km x 1km.. Output maps are delivered in the most common geospatial formats (ENVI, GeoTIFF, JPEG2000, GoogleEarth)..

Thermal anomalies on ground, as seen by satellite platforms, can be generated by surface warming like Volcanoes eruptions, or by the presence of fires. The latter is the case analyzed in the framework of the KLAUS Project, where the Italian State Forestry Corps (Corpo Forestale dello Stato, CFS) was involved as end-user of a fully automatic satellite-based thermal anomalies detection system.
