As part of this series, a two-day webinar on the Copernicus Sentinel-4 and -5 atmospheric composition missions is being organised on 3 and 4 November, 13:00–15:00 UTC (14:00-16:00 CET) each day.

Ushering in a new era of monitoring atmospheric composition and air quality from space, the webinar provides:

  • Overview of instrument and measurement principles.
  • Details on product generation and product characteristics.
  • User-relevant information about data formats, test datasets, dissemination.
  • Application perspectives for atmospheric composition and air quality monitoring.
  • Improvements in resolution and performance over heritage sensors, such as GOME-2 and Sentinel-5P/TROPOMI.

Speakers will address new products from the EUMETSAT Central Facility and the Atmospheric Composition Satellite Application Facility (AC SAF), and their expected benefit for the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS).

The webinar is open to all who are interested in using data from the Copernicus Sentinel-4 and Sentinel-5 missions.
