Integration of Surface, satellite and Models- Application to India

Contributors: All participants

  • Comparison of surface and satellite
  • Spatial and temporal pattern of aerosols over India
  • Tentative sources of aerosols over India
  • Identification of key uncertainties

The outcome of this session will be a summary/assessment of the air quality over India as derived from the multi-sensory observations & models. This summary to be presented to the participants on Day 2.

Summary and discussion (Panel+Open)

To have an invited panel and then a general discussion.

  • What have we learned?
  • Opportunities for further learning and applications


DataFed Tutorial

Handson tutorial on the federated data system ( DataFed). Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops.
