Subject: [Cometupdates] New from COMET: Satellite Monitoring of
Atmospheric Composition
To: announce at comet.ucar.edu


The COMET Program is pleased to announce the publication of the new
module, "Satellite Monitoring of Atmospheric Composition." Satellites
have become one of the most important tools for developing better
understanding of the composition of the atmosphere. Developed in
partnership with EUMETSAT, this 1-hour module provides an overview of
the main satellite applications in this area, which include monitoring
stratospheric ozone and ozone depletion, pollution (including long
distance transport), volcanic ash and SO2, and chemicals important in
assessing climate change. In addition, the module discusses the
operational uses of satellites in air quality forecasting. A brief
history of atmospheric composition satellite missions is provided,
along with a look at plans for future research and operational
missions.

The intended audience for Satellite Monitoring of Atmospheric
Composition is anyone with an interest in the uses of atmospheric
composition satellite products or who wants an introduction to the
European and U.S. satellite missions that deal with atmospheric
composition products.
