AiRMAPS Goals

Objectives

The OAR and NESDIS strategy encompasses four principal research objectives:

1. Leverage a tiered, integrated satellite, airborne and ground-based observing system for comprehensive, accurate evaluation of air pollutant emissions
2. Evaluate civilian and commercial spaceborne remote-sensing methods for detection and quantification of methane, NO₂ and other pollutants from diverse source sectors
3. Quantify air pollutant emissions and air quality impacts from urban areas, the oil and gas sector, and other sources to improve inventories and provide relevant information to decision-makers
