Satellite observations of the atmosphere are used for weather forecasts, helping to make predictions of temperatures, winds and precipitation. But did you know that satellites can also be used towards understanding the quality of the air that we breathe? Join this talk to learn about how scientists use observations from space to predict air quality, its connection to climate change, and how this research can inform health advisories and air management policies.
