Training materials are designed to introduce users to the new generation of aerosol products available from the JPSS series of polar-orbiting satellites (VIIRS) and the GOES-R series of geostationary satellites (ABI). The video tutorials link to short movies on YouTube that describe aspects of the aerosol products and their applications to air quality, with a focus on operational situations. The case study data sets allow users to work directly with aerosol products.
