The Campaign
The Airborne and Satellite Investigation of Asian Air Quality (ASIA-AQ) was an international cooperative project aimed at studying the factors affecting local air quality across Asia. Measurements from ASIA-AQ were gathered to validate aerosol satellite observations from South Korea’s Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS), the upcoming Multi-Angle Imager for Aerosols (MAIA) sensor, and other low-orbiting satellites. ASIA-AQ had one deployment from January to April 2024 across eastern Asia, mainly focusing on South Korea, the Philippines, and Thailand. Multiple aircraft, including NASA’s DC-8 and G-III, were equipped with remote sensing and in situ sensors to measure various aerosols and trace gases. Additionally, ground-based measurements from Pandora spectrometers, AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET), and ozonesondes were collected. ASIA-AQ was funded by NASA’s Tropospheric Composition Program.
