Advances in the Integrated Global Observing System for Air Quality: Science and Societal Benefit
Advances in the Integrated Global Observing System for Air Quality: Science and Societal Benefit
Session ID#: 159270
Session Description:
New satellite instruments and remote sensing techniques are enabling advances in spatial, temporal, and vertical characterization of air quality. The Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) aboard Aura and the TROPOMI instrument aboard Sentinel-5 Precursor provide spectacular long-term and high sensitivity/spatial resolution, respectively, of atmospheric composition for air quality monitoring. The air quality community anticipates the active utilization of the diurnal observations of policy-relevant pollutants from GEMS, TEMPO and Sentinel-4 (to be extended to GEO-XO in the following decade) as a critical part of the integrated global observing system for air quality. Maximizing the science, applications, and societal benefit from these new capabilities requires integration with ground-based observations, other space-based measurements, and advanced modeling frameworks. We invite submissions related to these advances, including but not limited to:
· Satellite mission results, status, and validation strategies
· Field campaigns prototyping future space-based capabilities
· High spatiotemporal modeling and/or surface observations
· Data assimilation and inverse methods
· Documentation of issues of Environmental Justice and Air Quality
· Boundary layer characterization and relationship to near-surface pollution
