Changes in biomass burning, wetland extent, or agriculture drive atmospheric NH 3 trends in select African regions

TLDR
In this article, the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) was used along with other satellite observations of the land surface and atmosphere to evaluate how NH 3 concentrations have changed over Africa from 2008 through 2018, and what has caused those changes.
Abstract
. Atmospheric ammonia (NH 3 ) is a precursor to fine particulate matter and a source of nitrogen (N) deposition that can adversely affect ecosystem health. The main sources of NH 3 – agriculture and biomass burning – are undergoing are or expected to undergo substantial changes in Africa. Although evidence of increasing NH 3 over parts of Africa has been observed, the mechanisms behind these trends are not well understood. Here we use observations of atmospheric NH 3 vertical column densities (VCDs) from the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) along with other satellite observations of the land surface and atmosphere to evaluate how NH 3 concentrations have changed over Africa from 2008 through 2018, and what has caused those changes. In West Africa NH 3 VCDs are observed to increase during the late dry season, with increases of over 6 % yr −1 in Nigeria during February and March ( p ). These positive trends are associated with increasing burned area and CO trends during these months, likely related to agricultural preparation. Increases are also observed in the Lake Victoria basin region, where they are associated with expanding agricultural area. In contrast, NH 3 VCDs declined over the Sudd wetlands in South Sudan by over 1.5 % yr −1 , though not significantly ( p=0.28 ). Annual maxima in NH 3 VCDs in South Sudan occur during February through May and are associated with the drying of temporarily flooded wetland soils, which favor emissions of NH 3 . The change in mean NH 3 VCDs over the Sudd is strongly correlated with variation in wetland extent in the Sudd: in years when more area remained flooded during the dry season, NH 3 VCDs were lower ( r=0.64 , p ). Relationships between biomass burning and NH 3 may be observed when evaluating national-scale statistics: countries with the highest rates of increasing NH 3 VCDs also had high rates of growth in CO VCDs; burned area displayed a similar pattern, though not significantly. Livestock numbers were also higher in countries with intermediate or high rates of NH 3 VCD growth. Fertilizer use in Africa is currently low but growing; implementing practices that can limit NH 3 losses from fertilizer as agriculture is intensified may help mitigate impacts on health and ecosystems.

Estimating global ammonia (NH3) emissions based on IASI observations from 2008 to 2018

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used satellite observations from the Infrared Atmospheric sounding interferometer (IASI) and simulations from the GEOS-Chem model to constrain global NH3 emissions over the period from 2008 to 2018.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drivers and impacts of Eastern African rainfall variability

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined the drivers and corresponding impacts of Eastern African rainfall variability, including the severity and frequency of extreme flooding and droughts, the stability of food and energy systems, the susceptibility to waterborne and vector-borne diseases, and ecosystem stability.

Lung Cancer, Cardiopulmonary Mortality, and Long-term Exposure to Fine Particulate Air Pollution

TL;DR: Fine particulate and sulfur oxide--related pollution were associated with all-cause, lung cancer, and cardiopulmonary mortality and long-term exposure to combustion-related fine particulate air pollution is an important environmental risk factor for cardiopULmonary and lung cancer mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

The TRMM Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA): Quasi-Global, Multiyear, Combined-Sensor Precipitation Estimates at Fine Scales

TL;DR: The TRMM Multi-Satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) as discussed by the authors provides a calibration-based sequential scheme for combining precipitation estimates from multiple satellites, as well as gauge analyses where feasible, at fine scales.
Journal ArticleDOI

The contribution of outdoor air pollution sources to premature mortality on a global scale

TL;DR: It is found that emissions from residential energy use such as heating and cooking, prevalent in India and China, have the largest impact on premature mortality globally, being even more dominant if carbonaceous particles are assumed to be most toxic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global land cover mapping from MODIS: algorithms and early results

TL;DR: This product provides maps of global land cover at 1-km spatial resolution using several classification systems, principally that of the IGBP, and a supervised classification methodology is used that exploits a global database of training sites interpreted from high-resolution imagery in association with ancillary data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Introducing ACLED: An Armed Conflict Location and Event Dataset

TL;DR: The ACLED dataset as discussed by the authors is an Armed Conflict Location and Event Dataset (ACLED) covering 50 unstable countries from 1997 through 2010, covering civil war and transnational violent events.
