Figure caption: India recently became the world’s largest emitter of sulfur dioxide (SO₂). The highest SO₂ levels are over eastern India and primarily associated with electricity generation. Other sources in India include the ceramicsindustry. The slider above shows satellite data of SO₂ from Aura’s Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), averaging levels between March 25 and April 25. The image on the left shows the mean SO₂ levels for 2017-2019, while the image on the right shows the mean for 2020. The decrease in SO₂ levels in 2020 mostly reflect decreased power generation, likely attributed to the shuttering of businesses during India’s stay-at-home order. Independent estimates indicate that electricity generation for India was down about 10% and 25% in March and April 2020, respectively, as compared to March and April 2019. Another pollutant, NO₂, is also emitted during thermal power generation and also showed a decrease in 2020relative to previous years. One exception for SO₂ is in southern India and it could be related to increased thermal power generation that came on line before the stay-at-home order. However, NO₂ appears to not have had a similar increase over the area. More analysis is required to understand the cause. The images are free and publicly-available and may be downloaded.
