Air Quality with Sentinel 5P Training

The training will focus on using the BEAT Open Toolbox to process Sentinel-5P data for different trace gas and aerosol in the atmosphere. Attendees will also gain knowledge on Sentinel-5P products and use the data to create world maps of the pollution. They will follow polluting events (such as rain-forest fires, pipeline emissions) with the daily measurement and global coverage of Sentinel-5P. Eventually special focus will be given on quantifying the pollution in a city during distinct periods of the year.

Participants will access a Virtual Machine from their own laptop, to exploit the open-source toolboxes available in the RUS environment and download and process Sentinel-5P data.
