Course Objectives		The objectives of this course are: 1. to develop a solid background for the students in remote sensing of air pollution by understanding the fundamentals of remote sensing science which is a state-of-the-art technology in air pollution monitoring, 2. to familiarize the students to the process and use of the remote sensing data for both gasous and particulate pollutants
Course Description		Fundamentals of electromagnetic radiation and remote sensing. UV-VIS-NIR spectrometers (OMI, SCIAMACHY, GOME, GOME-2) and retrieved pollutants: O3, NO2, SO2, Formaldehyde, Glyoxal, CO, CH4, and aerosols. VIS-NIR Radiometers (AVHRR, MODIS, MISR, MERIS, (A)ATSR(-2), POLDER) and retrieved parameters: Aerosol optical thickness and fine/coarse fraction. TIR Spectrometers (MOPITT, IASI, TES) and Ozone profiles, CO. Active Remote Sensing: Lidars and Radars (CALIPSO, ATLID) and aerosol profiles.
