Satellite Observations of Air Pollution

This lecture discusses how ground-based and satellite measurements complement each other, providing regional information and filling spatiotemporal data gaps. It covers topics such as Aerosol Optical Depth, validation through the AERONET network, and the use of satellites for air quality data. The lecture also explores the relationship between AOD and PM2.5, limitations of satellite data, and exercises using MODIS Aqua satellite data.
