• Abstract summary: We have developed a scalable, data-driven, supervised machine learning framework to impute missing temporal and spatial measurements. This model is designed to impute missing temporal and spatial measurements, thereby generating a comprehensive dataset for pollutants including NO$, O$_3$, PM$_10$, PM$_2.5$, and SO$. The model's performance across various geographical locations is examined, providing insights and recommendations for strategic placement of future monitoring stations.

• Abstract: Global ambient air pollution, a transboundary challenge, is typically addressed through interventions relying on data from spatially sparse and heterogeneously placed monitoring stations. These stations often encounter temporal data gaps due to issues such as power outages. In response, we have developed a scalable, data-driven, supervised machine learning framework. This model is designed to impute missing temporal and spatial measurements, thereby generating a comprehensive dataset for pollutants including NO$_2$, O$_3$, PM$_{10}$, PM$_{2.5}$, and SO$_2$. The dataset, with a fine granularity of 0.25$^{\circ}$ at hourly intervals and accompanied by prediction intervals for each estimate, caters to a wide range of stakeholders relying on outdoor air pollution data for downstream assessments. This enables more detailed studies. Additionally, the model's performance across various geographical locations is examined, providing insights and recommendations for strategic placement of future monitoring stations to further enhance the model's accuracy.

• Deep Self-Supervised Disturbance Mapping with the OPERA Sentinel-1 Radiometric Terrain Corrected SAR Backscatter Product [41.94295877935867]
  Mapping land surface disturbances supports disaster response, resource and ecosystem management, and climate adaptation efforts. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is an invaluable tool for disturbance mapping, providing consistent time-series images of the ground regardless of weather or illumination conditions. NASA's Observational Products for End-Users from Remote Sensing Analysis (OPERA) project released the near-global Radiometric Terrain Corrected SAR backscatter from Sentinel-1 (RTC-S1) dataset in October 2023. In this work, we utilize this new dataset to systematically analyze land surface disturbances.

We find that conditioning on future weather information has a greater impact than considering past traffic conditions.

  The main objective of this work is to create models capable of inferring pollutant concentrations in locations where no observation data exists.

All models presented acceptable cross-validation RMSE, except the $O_3$ and $PM10$ models where the mean value was a little higher.
