-Satellite: Satellite aerosol observations—which are particularly helpful in tracking long-range transport
-aloft—can overcome some of the limitations of surface monitoring networks and enhance
-daily air quality forecasts associated with particle pollution.
-Just as space-based imagery of clouds and
-water vapor allows weather patterns to be identified
-and monitored, satellite sensors capable of detecting
-trace constituents can show the “chemical weather”
-over the globe (Fig. 1). The potential benefit of such
-observations for air quality forecasting is comparable
-to the revolution experienced by weather forecasters
-with the advent of operational weather satellites
-decades ago.
