Satellite remote sensing is commonly used in air quality studies, but geostationary satellite is rare. We are excited to investigate the capability of the first geostationary satellite instrument for aerosol retrieval, named GOCI, in the application air pollution studies. Our result presents a high accuracy in GOCI-derived PM2.5 concentrations over eastern China, illustrating the potential for extensive applications of geostationary instrument in air quality studies.
