This training will cover the applications of Earth observations for decision making activities. Lectures exercises will highlight applications related to air quality monitoring, forecasting, smoke, fire, PM2.5 monitoring, image interpretation, and data access for modeling efforts. Data sources will include:
MODIS
TROPOMI
GOES-East
GOES-West
online tools for visualizing and acquiring aerosol trace gas data
TEMPO proxy datasets
To conclude the training, participants will complete a case study that incorporates all data portals, tools, and relevant data. Participants will apply this to properly identify, track, and measure air quality events of their choosing. This will also allow them to assess the strengths and weaknesses of these data products.
List of Relevant Tools and Data Portals
This training took place before and after the TEMPO Health Applications Conference.
