Abstract
Satellite remote sensing data can be used to track air pollution across cities. However, these scope and scale of these studies can often be limited by the spatial resolution of the satellite remote sensing data. In this study, we use tropospheric nitrogen dioxide data to monitor air quality across Toronto, Ontario during the COVID-19 pandemic. We use climatic variables such as planetary boundary height, wind speed, and ground-level nitrogen dioxide monitors to understand the changes in air pollution on a ward-level.
