Revealing Environmental COVID-19 Impacts for the Upper Adriatic TEN-T Trieste-Koper Corridor at 2020

To a greater or lesser extent, all the nations have worldwide faced off the Covid-19 outbreak’ impacts. The National American Space Agency, in conjuction with its European counterpart (ESA), have offered a new set of options, starting from the First Atmospheric Mission Sentinel-5P and upcoming Sentinel-4 and Sentinel-5 satellites , which are capable to offer a near-real-time economic indicator, depending on the decrease in traffic and industrial activity. This case-study delivers a basic nitrogen dioxide (NO2) based observation, in order to quantify and detect the unexampled man-made decreases of the Upper Adriatic corridor. The study also extends the evidence base for the uncertainty surrounding variables which are currently under fronteer-research (Mark Parrington, OBSERVER: Measuring Nox levels as an indicator of economic activty).
