Book excerpt: ABSTRACT Continued: We test the capability of remotely-sensed PM2.5 to capture extreme short-term events by examining the major biomass burning event around Moscow in summer 2010. We find good agreement (r2=0.85, slope=1.06) between daily estimates of PM2.5 from in-situ and satellite-derived sources in the Moscow region during the fires. Both satellite-derived and in-situ values have peak daily mean concentrations of approximately 600?g/m3 on August 7, 2010 in the Moscow region.
