Among the small gas components of the atmosphere, a group of gases and impurities stands out — atmospheric air pollutants: aerosol, nitrogen and sulfur dioxides, formaldehyde and carbon monoxide. Measurement of these pollutants is very important for characterizing environmental and biogeochemical processes in the troposphere and monitoring air quality. In recent decades, a system of remote methods for obtaining information on atmospheric pollution has been being developed on the basis of Earth remote sensing instruments. The review examines the state of technical means of remote sensing for measuring trace gas components of the troposphere. The development of equipment installed on sun-synchronous and geostationary satellites is analyzed and the spectral, spatiotemporal and technical characteristics of the devices are given. The analysis shows that there is currently a trend towards building a three-level observation system, including geostationary satellites, instruments in high sun-synchronous orbits and observations from low-orbiting vehicles, e.g. International Space Station. At the same time, there is a constant increase in spatial resolution of the equipment, but spectral resolution changes little. There is also a significant increase in the speed of information transfer. The results obtained can be used when selecting data sources for monitoring the concentrations of trace gas components of the atmosphere both over large areas and in specific regions of Russia.
Keywords: trace gas components of the atmosphere, atmospheric air pollutants, remote sensing of the Earth, spectrometer
