Published purpose
Data from two Canadian space-based instruments will be utilized to investigate our changing atmosphere and to improve our ability to simulate these changes with atmospheric models. In one activity, we will focus on understanding how to best simulate the injection and dispersal of wildfire pollution in the atmosphere including its year-to-year variation. In a second activity, we will examine how different models describe greenhouse gases that are also air pollutants. For the third activity, we will assess the quality of space-based measurements of greenhouse gases and air pollutants and evaluate how well models simulate these important gases.
