@stuartmackay Thr Grace satellites are very interesting. I am working in the field of water and climate change and these are my favourite satellites. The principle on which they work is just awesome

I had a similar question. I thought of ablation from aeroplanes, rockets and even satellites and space debries.

The NASA app was very good. I have quickly gone through CATS eyes on the atmosphere. The EUMETSAT Atmosphere MOOC Data Viewer is also a very useful tool. I can see high concentration of PM 2.5 over Delhi, India where I live. This MOOC is of such a good quality that application like the one mentioned above is specifically designed for MOOC mates. Kudos to the...

@AtiyaChowdhury , It would be great if Subtitles are available as well for download. I think it was available in the courses (Designed by Imperative space) that I completed from ESA.
-
Yes that map was good indeed
-
Very informative section. Thankyou. The lights were awesome
-
Yes the Indian Govt. certainly has to take strict measures for Delhi pollution. Certainly data from satellites will be crucial for this
-
Kindly provide the English Transcript (PDF) of the video. Also It will be great if subtitles are also available for download. I tend to download and see videos. This is mainly to avoid buffering sometimes

It was good that know that EU has such a strong regulations for air quality. The satellite map - "Air quality improvement in Helsinki" is a very good example as to how satellites data acts as a tool to monitor air quality trends.
I am currently in New Delhi, India and because of various reasons (Prime reason - Crop burning) the quality of air here (at this...

The concept of forecasts acting as a tool to improve the air quality was awesome. Thanks for the video

1) Has your understanding of the greenhouse effect changed? - I was not aware that its water vapor that plays a more important role then Carbon dioxide in keeping our planet warm.
2) Should we adopt ‘the blanket effect’ as an analogy instead of ‘the greenhouse effect’? - Yes. Also, thanks to the instructor for focusing on this part and explaining it.
