METHOD FOR INTEGRATED MONITORING OF THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE REGION Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC G01W1/00 

FIELD: measuring.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to methods for monitoring of the environment of the region, including sources of the absorption and release of carbon dioxide. Substance: databases are formed for the characteristics of the environment of the region and the rules for formalising the results of assessing the conditions of the environment and changes therein. Local databases are formed using monitoring means, containing the values of the characteristics of the objects of monitoring and the common rules for formalising the results of assessing the condition thereof. In the process of monitoring, the current values of the characteristics of the objects of monitoring are measured by remote and contact methods while collecting data for each object of monitoring, and the changes in the environmental indicators in time are assessed. Unified protocols displaying the recorded values of the monitored characteristics and the time of forming the protocol are formed at the objects of monitoring. The protocols formed are transmitted to the processing and control centre via communication lines. A combined protocol is formed in the data processing centre. Based on the data of the combined protocols formed, the actual values of the characteristics of the environment, carbon dioxide emission and absorption, the direction of changes therein and times of forming the protocols at the objects of monitoring, are recorded . The environmental objects are classified as objects of carbon dioxide circulation, namely: technology-caused sources of carbon dioxide release, man-made sources of carbon dioxide absorption, human-caused and natural sources of the absorption and release thereof. The content and circulation of greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere of the region are included in the monitored characteristics of the environment of the region. Based on the local databases of objects of monitoring, the daily, seasonal and annual models of carbon dioxide circulation are formed for each natural and human-caused source of carbon dioxide absorption and release, according to the results of analysing the readings of the means of monitoring and periodic monitoring of the volume of phytomass and changes therein. Models of content of carbon dioxide and changes therein in the atmosphere for the objects of monitoring and a comprehensive model of content of carbon dioxide and changes therein in the atmosphere for the region are formed based on the results of the measured characteristics of the objects of monitoring, the data of the combined protocols, and the formed models of carbon dioxide circulation for individual objects. The formed models are periodically revised based on the results of current measurements by the means of monitoring at objects of monitoring. The territory of the region is therein periodically surveyed by various method for remote sensing when forming a database for the characteristics of the environment of the region. The boundaries and the type of natural and technology-caused objects within the territory of the region are determined based on the remote survey and cadastre data. The database of objects of the environment is periodically corrected after forming. When measuring the current characteristics of the objects of monitoring, the meteorological parameters of the atmosphere of the region and the estimates thereof are determined by the areas of location of technology-caused objects of monitoring, human-caused and natural objects. For human-caused sources of carbon dioxide absorption and release, measurements are taken cyclically with reference to the time of day. For natural sources of carbon dioxide absorption and release, measurements are taken in different seasons with reference of each measurement to the time of day. The values of the current meteorological parameters in the area of the objects of monitoring are additionally added to the local databases of the objects of monitoring and the unified protocols, measured simultaneously with the values of the characteristics of the object of monitoring. When predicting changes in the characteristics of the environment of the region, a comprehensive model of the content of carbon dioxide and changes therein in the atmosphere of the region is used.

EFFECT: increase in the accuracy of the results of assessing the changes in the state of the environment of the region.
