Abstract Satellite remote sensing is increasingly applied in the field of environmental protection, especially in atmospheric monitoring. Here, a comprehensive review is provided on the development, limits, and prospects of remote sensing of the atmospheric environment in China. Firstly, the paper introduced the principle of detection of three types of atmospheric parameters and commonly used satellite data. Secondly, advances in retrieval methods, product validations, and applications in China were summarized. This included aerosol, particulate matter, haze, straw burning, dust storm, gaseous pollutant (sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone), greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide and methane), and air quality monitoring and control. Thirdly, products widely applied in monitoring the atmospheric environment in China were analyzed. Finally, the outlooks for future development were discussed. This included application of China’s satellite data, enhancement of the accuracy of air pollution monitoring, and services for environmental management. Keywords Air quality . Gaseous pollutant . Straw burning . Dust . Greenhouse gas
Introduction The rapid industrial development in China in the past four decades has a severe impact on atmospheric environment. For instance, air quality of major urban agglomerations has become the focus of the press and the public. Reports on severe pollution from haze, particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), automobile exhaust, ozone, formaldehyde, and greenhouse gas have attracted enormous attention because of the related warming effect, health risk, and economic loss. Satellite remote sensing technology is widely applied in monitoring the atmospheric environment around the world (Safarianzengir et al. 2020; Hutchison 2003; Liu et al. 2005; Lee and Koutrakis 2014; Bella et al. 2016; Zhao et al. 2017). It can effectively detect continuous and dynamic state of air over a large area. Some of the commonly used satellite remote * Shaohua Zhao [email protected] 1
