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.
