Wouldn't it be something if we could zoom out for a bit and see what India and China are up to?

It would be interesting to compare the India sub-continent to Asia (China, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Hong Kong, etc...) along with Europe and South and Central America. I think folks would be enlightened as to where the issues are.

Literally zooming out to see India and China wouldn't work, as TEMPO is on the Intelsat 40e geostationary satellite and the field of view doesn't include India or China. [1] That said, TEMPO is part of the same polution monitoring project as GEMS [2], which was launched a few years ago and covers China. And of course, TEMPO/GEMS/Sentinel-4 is not the only satellite-based pollution monitoring project. If you actually want to look at global pollution data from satellite-based instruments, NASA's EOSDIS Worldview site is a pretty interesting place to start, e.g. this may be of interest: [3] [1] <https://www.orbtrack.org/#/?satName=INTELSAT%2040E%20(IS-40E) https://www.orbtrack.org/#/?satName=INTELSAT%2040E%20(IS-40E...> [2] <http://gems1.yonsei.ac.kr/main.php http://gems1.yonsei.ac.kr/main.php> [3] <https://worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov/?v=-131.9352415053293,-57.60935130473331,165.2081733939319,120.21241104904331&l=Reference_Labels_15m(hidden),Reference_Features_15m(hidden),Coastlines_15m,OMI_Nitrogen_Dioxide_Tropo_Column(palette%3Dred_1),Ground_Level_Nitrogen_Dioxide_3_Year_Running_Mean_2010-2012(hidden,palette%3Dblue_1),VIIRS_NOAA20_CorrectedReflectance_TrueColor(hidden),VIIRS_SNPP_CorrectedReflectance_TrueColor(hidden),MODIS_Aqua_CorrectedReflectance_TrueColor(hidden),MODIS_Terra_CorrectedReflectance_TrueColor(hidden)&lg=true&t=2023-08-12-T22%3A51%3A04Z https://worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov/?v=-131.9352415053293,-...>
