We consider the problem of reconstructing the number size distribution (or particle size distribution) in the atmosphere from lidar measurements of the extinction and backscattering coefficients. We assume that the number size distribution can be modeled as a superposition of log-normal distributions, each one defined by three parameters: mode,...

A rising global attention to the environmental impact of anthropogenic activities pushes towards a continuous reduction of such impact and a control, through monitoring techniques, of the main sources of pollution. The transport sector is involved, as all other field of anthropogenic activities in the efforts towards a drastic abatement of...

The paper covers the need of a detailed monitoring of exhaust gases emissions from the funnel of ships during manoeuvres and mooring at harbour. Just like in many other transport infrastructures, a key point for an effective control of the overall environmental impact stands in the identification of the emissions from single vehicles, in order...
