Monitoring and Predicting the Impacts of Extreme Fire and Dust Events using the New Generation of Satellite Trace Gas and Aerosol Observations

Session ID#: 78763

Session Description:
The new generation of Earth-observing satellites, including SNPP, NOAA-20, S5P, Himawari-8, and GOES-16 and -17, provide measurements of trace gases and aerosols that are revolutionizing our environmental monitoring capabilities. Thick smoke and blowing dust associated with extreme fire and dust events are natural hazards that affect human health, air quality, and visibility. Due to extended periods of drought in recent years, wildfires and dust storms are becoming larger, more deadly, and longer lasting. The high accuracy, high resolution products from instruments such as VIIRS, TROPOMI, AHI, and ABI have a myriad of uses for monitoring and predicting the impacts of extreme fires and dust storms. For this session, we invite presentations on algorithm/product development, validation, and applications of trace gas and aerosol satellite products, focusing on extreme fire/dust events and the associated human hazards. Topics include modeling, forecasting, emergency response, epidemiology, and trend analysis of these extreme events.
