Description of Document: NCAR Workshop on AQ and Remote Sensing from Space input to Decadal Survey
Satellite: examine what observational characteristics are required for the successful use of satellite remote sensing to measure environmentally significant pollutant trace gases and aerosols
Four principal areas in which satellite observations are crucial for future AQ basic research and operational needs were identified: (1) AQ characterization for retrospective assessments and forecasting to support air program management and public health advisories; (2) Quantification of emissions of ozone and aerosol precursors; (3) Long-range transport of pollutants extending from regional to global scales; and (4) Large puff releases from environmental disasters.
