Description

For certain applications some satellites take too long to revisit the same spot. Some satellites are capable of consistent monitoring of the same area. This training series, led by NASA's Applied Remote Sensing Training (ARSET) program, covers satellites with a high temporal resolution for air quality applications. Participants can learn about new and upcoming geostationary satellites, what data is available, and how to access them. The training covers satellites over the Americas, Asia, and Africa, and feature speakers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Yonsei University, and the Indian Institute of Remote Sensing.

Objectives
