Sentinel tracks ships' dirty emissions from orbit
Description: The new EU satellite tasked with tracking dirty air has demonstrated how it will become a powerful tool to monitor emissions from shipping. Sentinel-5P was launched in October last year and has now completed its in-orbit commissioning phase. But already it is clear the satellite's data will be transformative. The "highway" that the vessels use to navigate the Strait of Gibraltar is easily discerned by S5P's Tropomi instrument. [Source: BBC News]
