TEMPO Data Access and Tools
Data collected by NASA’s Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring Pollution (TEMPO) instrument enable precision monitoring of air pollution across the U.S.
The following are TEMPO standard data products and sampling rates:
- NO2, O3, aerosol, and cloud products sampled hourly, including eXceL O3 for selected target areas
- H2CO, C2H2O2, SO2 sampled 3 times/day (hourly samples averaged to get S/N)
- Product spatial resolution ≤ 8 km N/S x 4.5 km E/W at center of domain
- Signal/noise requirements met at SZA (Solar Zenith Angles) less than 50° for all products—and at angles up to 70° for NO2, clouds, and aerosols.
- Ozone profile products include 0–2 km O3, free tropospheric O3, and the stratospheric O3 column
