Abstract:
The advent of geostationary air-quality observations by TEMPO, GEMS, Sentinel-4, and GOES combined with measurements by the polar orbiting air-quality platforms, MAIA, OMPS, Sentinel-SP, Sentinel-5 and the ground-based networks TOLNet, Pandonia Global Network, Micro-pulse Lidar Network and the EPA surface and profiling networks, with episodic airborne measurements, when integrated in a chemical transport modeling framework provides a powerful empirical and theoretical arsenal to address air-quality forecasting, assessment, and process studies from continental to local spatiotemporal scales. The synergy of this spectrum of observation platforms provides an unparalleled capability to tackle complex atmospheric-chemistry problems. This talk will describe how various air-quality measurement instruments and networks contribute to an international constellation of geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites to provide unprecedented capability to measure and understand air quality.
