SPEAKER| Dr. Mark Parrington, Copernicus
ABSTRACT| Recent Australian bushfires have been notable for their intensity, duration and devastating impacts. Fires have caused death and destruction in South Eastern Australia: smoke has degraded air quality across southeast Australia and has travelled around the world.
Dr Mark Parrington explained how near-real-time satellite measurements are being used to monitor environmental conditions and the atmospheric impacts of the wildfires in Australia and across the globe.
Directions
BRLSI is on the west side of Queen Square, in the centre of Bath near Milsom St, the Circus and Royal Crescent.
By road: BRLSI is on the A4 as it goes through the centre of Bath. We are five minutes from the Charlotte Street long-stay car park (10 mins if you park at the far end!) - drive past BRLSI, turn left at the top of the square, then first right. There is also limited on-street parking in Queen Square.
By rail/bus: Bath Spa railway station is 10-15 minutes walk away, and Bath's new bus station is next door to it. Taxis are available from the railway station at most times.
REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED
This meeting is part of the Royal Meteorological Society Meetings programme, open to all, from expert to enthusiast, for topical discussions on the latest advances in weather and climate.
