Spatiotemporal Variability of Tropospheric Nitrogen Dioxide (NO₂) and Its Relationship with Meteorological Conditions over Kumasi, Ghana # kumasi-no2-meteorology Independent research project investigating the spatiotemporal variability of tropospheric NO₂ and its relationship with meteorological conditions over Kumasi, Ghana. # Meteorological Drivers and Spatiotemporal Variability of Tropospheric NO₂ over Kumasi, Ghana ## Overview This project investigates the temporal and spatial variability of satellite-derived tropospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) over Kumasi, Ghana, and examines its relationship with meteorological conditions. ## Research Questions 1. How does tropospheric NO₂ vary temporally over Kumasi? 2. How does NO₂ vary across wet and dry seasons? 3. What relationships exist between NO₂ and meteorological variables? 4. What are the spatial patterns of NO₂ across Kumasi? 5. To what extent can meteorological variables explain NO₂ variability? ## Data The study will use publicly available: - Sentinel-5P/TROPOMI NO₂ observations - ERA5 meteorological data - Geographic data for the study area ## Methods - Data preprocessing and quality control - Temporal analysis - Seasonal analysis - Spatial analysis - Statistical analysis - Regression modeling - Machine-learning analysis ## Tools - Python - Pandas - NumPy - Matplotlib - Scikit-learn - Google Earth Engine - GIS ## Status Research project in progress. ## Research Ethics This repository will contain independently c
