Our World From Space
Atmosphere
Satellites play a crucial role in monitoring Earth’s atmosphere by collecting essential data that supports weather forecasting, air quality assessment, and the study of the ozone layer. By capturing detailed information on atmospheric conditions, satellites help predict weather patterns more accurately, track severe storms, and provide early warnings for natural disasters.
In addition, satellite data is vital for analyzing air pollution levels, identifying sources of harmful emissions, and monitoring trends in air quality. Furthermore, satellites help track changes in the ozone layer, which protects life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation, contributing to our understanding of environmental health and climate change.
