PURPOSE OF REVIEW: PM₂.₅ satellite remote sensing is the most powerful way to acquire the PM₂.₅ distribution and variation at a large scale with high resolution. Thus, PM₂.₅ remote sensing methods have been widely developed and applied in multiple environmentally related research areas in recent decades. Hence, the purpose of this review is to summarize these methods, required input data and main applications of PM₂.₅ and its remote sensing components. RECENT FINDINGS: In general, two-step methods have been used for estimating PM₂.₅, which first retrieves the aerosol optical depth (AOD) and estimates PM₂.₅ from the AOD with other supplemental data containing the temporal or spatial variation impact on PM₂.₅ or data correlated with PM₂.₅ variation by different AOD-PM₂.₅ models. The AOD-PM₂.₅ models have been developed by using different methods, including empirical-statistical models (single or combined statistical models and big data-based machine learning methods), CTM-based models and semi-empirical/physical models. Current research can provide high-resolution (e.g. daily variations at 1 km and hourly variations at ~1 km) PM₂.₅ products, which have been widely used in air pollution management, health impact assessments, numerical data assimilation and climate impact analyses. This review summarizes the current research on method development, application, achievement and remaining challenges in remote sensing of PM₂.₅ and its components, which are essential for further improvement of the methods and accuracy of PM₂.₅ remote sensing and are likely applicable to other PM₂.₅ component remote sensing methods in the future.
