Earth observation is vital in air quality modelling and assessments, particularly in regions where substantial and reliable ground networks are unavailable.

Global and regional atmospheric models suggest that every spring, air quality in parts of Northern Southeast Asia is amongst the worst in the world, apparently due to smoke from biomass burning.
