Advances in an Integrated Global Observing System for Air Quality I


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 57815

Session Description:
Remote sensing data are increasingly used in air quality analysis and prediction, and improvements in trace gas and aerosol remote sensing and models are enabling advances in air quality applications. The emerging global constellation of air quality satellite missions (Sentinel-5P/TROPOMI, Sentinel-5, Sentinel-4, GEMS and TEMPO) provides measurements at unprecedented spatial and temporal resolutions. Maximizing the science and ultimate societal benefits from these missions requires integration with other measurements in advanced modeling frameworks. Field campaigns such as DISCOVER-AQ, KORUS-AQ and AROMAT are actively exploring multi-perspective strategies. Presentations on all aspects of these important challenges are invited, including:

  • First results from Sentinel-5P/TROPOMI
  • Advances in satellite, airborne and ground-based remote sensing of trace gases and aerosols
  • Preparatory field campaigns
  • Harmonizing and validating data products from multiple sensors/platforms
  • Modeling at fine spatio-temporal resolutions
  • Chemical data assimilation and inverse methods
  • Boundary layer characterization and relationship to near-surface pollution
  • High-density surface observations
  • Emission calculations
