The WMO Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) Science and Implementation Plan 2024 – 2027 has been developed under the Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) programme.

The plan addresses the growing importance of atmospheric composition observations and predictions to support societal interests and needs related to air pollution, ecosystem and human health, food production and climate change. In Activity SO-A2 of the plan (titled Strengthen coordination of atmospheric composition measurement and data infrastructure), it is outlined as described below.
The GAW data infrastructure needs to continue to address the challenges of integrating disparate data sources and be able to rapidly analyse and combine different data sources to gain additional insights. Satellite observations need to be integrated better into the existing data infrastructure. Therefore, increased capabilities to identify and access co-located in-situ calibration/validation observations and satellite data for quality assurance of satellite products are needed. This will be achieved through improved metadata and through improving metadata analysis tools like OSCAR.

WDCGG has gathered and provided satellite data via its website to facilitate open access to such information.
Satellite data maps are also provided to give an overview of the data.
