SUMMARY:Satellite remote sensing of air quality
DESCRIPTION:This online course provided within the context of ESA EO AFRICA focuses on detection of the composition of the lower atmosphere from space: methods\, data\, tools and applications. \nUpon completion of this online training course\, the participant will be able to: \n\nExplain the basic interactions of radiation with the atmosphere: absorption and scattering\nExplain how the concentration of trace gases and greenhouse gases can be inferred by using absorption spectroscopy\nExplain how visible radiances observed by satellite instruments are used to characterize aerosols and clouds\nFind and work with TROPOMI data using python scripts\nAnalyze temporal and spatial patterns of air quality data using python and jupyter notebooks\nReview a case study involving atmospheric composition data\n\nThe course will be offered to a maximum of 75 participants. Selection will be based on relevant academic background and employment. \nOnly applicants working for an African-based organization are eligible. \nThe participants are expected to have a basic knowledge of the Earth System\, Earth Observation principles and some affinity with programming. Before the start of the course participants will be given access to 2 online course of the EO AFRICA RDF series (OC 1: Principles of and advances in Earth Observation and OC 2:Cloud Computing and Algorithms for EO Analyses)\, which we advise to go through for refreshing the knowledge on basic principles of EO and tools/algorithms. \nRead more information and apply by May 10th HERE \n
