NEWS – ISRO has developed and validated an Ocean Colour Monitor (OCM-3) Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) product

HIGHLIGHTS

• Enables determining the intricacies of air quality dynamics over the landmass of the Indian subcontinent
• Developed using the SAC AErosol Retrieval (SAER) algorithm using EOS-6 satellite data.
• The data serves as a benchmarking air quality simulation model, providing valuable insights for scholars and policymakers towards a cleaner and healthier future.
• This advancement is enabled by the remarkable 1 km spatial resolution of the OCM-3 onboard EOS-6. The satellite EOS-6, launched in November 2022, is equipped with a state-of-the-art OCM sensor, marking a significant leap in our ability to monitor atmospheric aerosols
