NOAA's Satellite Applications Symposium Series: Air

The Evolving Capabilities of Monitoring Atmospheric Composition for Human Health and Air Quality Applications

Get updates about new data available, satellite instrument development progress, and provide feedback on your changing needs and challenges.

Pre-registration requested

Location: College Park, MD and Virtual

Hear about evolving satellite capabilities to monitor the composition of the atmosphere, including air pollution that affects human health. New sensors have recently been launched while others are being built to serve users in the future. This event will focus on advancing engagement and readiness for the newest and next generation of these satellites. Attendees can anticipate:

  • Receiving updates about innovative satellite systems and exciting new applications.
  • Networking and engaging with critical stakeholders and getting feedback from them on their changing needs. 
  • Offering/receiving feedback on the road to application-ready science for societal benefit and decision-making.  

Context: In 2020 thematic workshops were held to determine user needs and develop requirements for new instruments planned for deployment on the next generation of geostationary satellites, GeoXO. Since then, NASA has recently launched TEMPO, a satellite capable of measuring pollution over North America, from Mexico City to the Canadian oil sands, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific hourly and at high spatial resolution.

We look forward to your participation and feedback as we continue to guide the production of new data products and future instrument requirements.
