ARSET - An Inside Look at How NASA Measures Air Pollution

ARSET - An Inside Look at How NASA Measures Air Pollution
"Learn which pollutants can be measured from space, how satellites make these measurements, the do’s and don’ts of interpreting satellite data, and how to download and create your own visualizations." This training is tailored to those interested in learning how to access and visualize NASA satellite imagery. With the world’s eyes and media coverage turned to recent global changes in air pollution, this two-part webinar series provides a primer for the novice and a good refresher course for all others. You can learn which pollutants can be measured from space, how satellites make these measurements, the do’s and don’ts of interpreting satellite data, and how to download and create your own visualizations. By the end of this training, you will be able to: List the pollutants that can be observed by NASA satellites Find and download imagery for NO2 and aerosols/particles Describe the capabilities and limitations of NASA NO2 and aerosol measurements Learners who have not completed the Fundamentals of Remote Sensing may not be prepared for the pace of the training. This Learning Series was conducted by NASA's Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET). ARSET is a part of NASA's Applied Science's Capacity Building Program.
