The impact of anthropogenic activities on our atmosphere is increasingly concerning, and satellite-based techniques are crucial for observational strategies on both regional and global scales. This book summarizes the current state of the field, detailing key techniques and findings. It begins with a historical overview and the basic principles of remote sensing from space. Following this, three chapters focus on various techniques and solutions to challenges in different spectral regions. The complexities of aerosols and clouds are addressed in the next two chapters. A significant emphasis is placed on the accuracy and reliability of remote sensing data, discussed in a chapter on validation. The final section explores data exploitation, covering observational aspects, individual and synergistic studies, and the comparison of global and regional observations with chemical transport and climate models, highlighting the benefits of this interaction. The book concludes by outlining scientific needs, future developments, and necessary actions for establishing a global observation system to address the current environmental crisis. Appendices include a comprehensive list of satellite instruments, global representations of ancillary data like fire counts and light pollution, abbreviations, and timelines for future satellite coverage of tropospheric composition. This work serves as a valuable reference for those engaged in environmen
