What Does GASP Stand For?
GASP stands for GOES Aerosol Smoke Product
GASP, or GOES Aerosol Smoke Product, is a satellite-derived dataset designed to detect, characterize, and monitor aerosol smoke plumes in the atmosphere. Utilizing advanced imaging technology from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES), GASP provides real-time information on smoke distribution, concentration, and movement. This product is essential for understanding the impact of wildfires on air quality and climate, as well as for aiding in public health assessments and response strategies during smoke events.
