Abstract
The problem of ecological conditions at Norilsk industrial area is discussed. The NASA database on OMI sensor (AURA satellite) is used for 2004–2012 years. The largest share of sulfur dioxide emissions were detected in January–May and November (90%). The maximum emission of 95 kt per month was observed in November 2004. A comparative analysis of data from the satellite with ground-based environmental monitoring and airborne monitoring data was carried out. The space and ground-based data differs by 30–65%, the space and airborne data – by 14%.
