IQAir is a Swiss air quality technology company, specializing in protection against airborne pollutants, developing air quality monitoring and air cleaning products. [2] IQAir also operates AirVisual, a real-time air quality information platform. [3][4] As of February 2020, it had around 500 employees worldwide, 150 of them in China, and its ...
All data are valid for the year 2020 and are taken from the Air Quality Life Index (ACLI) of the University of Chicago.In addition to particulate matter pollution, the modeled potential loss of life expectancy of the population due to particulate matter pollution is given.
World map. A world map is a map of most or all of the surface of Earth. World maps, because of their scale, must deal with the problem of projection. Maps rendered in two dimensions by necessity distort the display of the three-dimensional surface of the Earth. While this is true of any map, these distortions reach extremes in a world map.
Google Earth is a web and computer program that renders a 3D representation of Earth based primarily on satellite imagery. The program maps the Earth by superimposing satellite images, aerial photography, and GIS data onto a 3D globe, allowing users to see cities and landscapes from various angles.
Equirectangular projection of the world; the standard parallel is the equator (plate carrée projection). Equirectangular projection with Tissot's indicatrix of deformation and with the standard parallels lying on the equator True-colour satellite image of Earth in equirectangular projection Height map of planet Earth at 2km per pixel, including oceanic bathymetry information, normalized as 8 ...
The Equal Earth map projection is an equal-area pseudocylindrical global map projection, invented by Bojan Šavrič, Bernhard Jenny, and Tom Patterson in 2018. It is inspired by the widely used Robinson projection, but unlike the Robinson projection, retains the relative size of areas. The projection equations are simple to implement and fast ...
Equal-area. Walter Behrmann. Cylindrical equal-area projection with standard parallels at 30°N/S and an aspect ratio of (3/4)π ≈ 2.356. 2002. Hobo–Dyer. Cylindrical. Equal-area. Mick Dyer. Cylindrical equal-area projection with standard parallels at 37.5°N/S and an aspect ratio of 1.977.
An azimuthal equidistant projection about the South Pole extending all the way to the North Pole. Emblem of the United Nations containing a polar azimuthal equidistant projection. The azimuthal equidistant projection is an azimuthal map projection. It has the useful properties that all points on the map are at proportionally correct distances ...
