TROPESS

Tropospheric Ozone and Precursors from Earth System Sounding

The Tropospheric Ozone and Precursors from Earth System Sounding (TROPESS) project generates Earth System Data Records (ESDRs) of ozone and other atmospheric constituents by processing data from multiple satellites through a common retrieval algorithm and ground data system.

TROPESS data products are rigorously validated using uncertainty analysis in connection with independent measurements. The accuracies of the retrieved quantities are quantified to make long-term trends through multi-satellite records and chemical data assimilation. Scientific analysis and evaluation leading to peer-reviewed publications has demonstrated the scientific value of these ESDRs and their utility to the broader community.

  • For a given processing stream, there are three types of data products: Summary, Standard, and Archival. Which type(s) of data products should I use? 

    Among the three types of data products (Summary, Standard, Archival), the Summary data product is a good first-look data product for a new user of the TROPESS data products. It contains the retrieved physical parameters of interest with a minimal set of diagnostic parameters. For a user who is looking for more diagnostic information about the retrieved physical parameters, the next data product to use is the Standard data product. If the user is familiar with the TROPESS data products and would like to have the most extensive information about the data, they should use the Archival data product, which contains complete and unfiltered retrieval results and detailed diagnostic parameters at the original vertical resolution.

  • There are many data collections generated from three types of processing streams: Forward, Reanalysis, and Special Collection. How would I determine which data collection is useful for my research and application?

    The data collections generated from the Forward processing stream are useful to study the impacts of recent weather and air quality events and to apply these to data assimilation and forecasting type of work. The Forward-processing data collections are not designed to study a long-term trend, since the software used to generate the products is updated regularly. 

    In contrast, the data collections generated from the Reanalysis processing stream are useful to study a long-term trend, as they provide a long-time coverage (multiple years) of the retrieved parameters with a fixed retrieval configuration and a fixed software version. The data collections generated from the Special-Collection processing stream are designed with a particular target area and a particular event in mind. For example, the Megacities collections were generated to study the air quality and atmospheric components of global big cities for a longer period (2016-2021). The Australian Fire collections were generated to study the 2019-2020 Australian Bushfire season.

  • I would like to download multiple years of TROPESS datasets in a single bulk request. What is the best way to do this?

    There is a free open-source, command line-based tool known as the datasubscriber[downloader] which allows users to either subscribe to datasets (for periodic, continuous updating featuring the latest available data) or one-time "bulk" downloading of one or more data files with a single request. A tutorial with instructions on how to install and use datasubscriber[downloader] is available here.

  • I prefer to do my data analysis in Python and/or iPython/Jupyter notebooks, but this is my first time working with TROPESS data. Do you have any Python code and/or notebook examples to help me get started?

    There are numerous open-source Jupyter notebooks and tutorials based on Python covering a wide variety of TROPESS datasets. These notebooks provide examples of the following features/capabilities: data search/discovery, data access/subset/extraction, data plotting/analysis/visualization. This is an ongoing, collaborative effort between the JPL TROPESS project and ESDIS. More info is available here: Link

The TROPESS data products are Level 2 products with daily granularity. For a given data processing stream (e.g., AIRS+OMI joint retrieval), three types of data products are generated: Standard, Summary, and Archival.

Table 3: TROPESS Level 2 data product types and description of key characteristics and typical file size. 

Product TypeDescription

File Size

(per species, per day, per file)

Archival
  • For users famliar with TROPESS or TES data
  • Products contain complete and unfiltered retrieval results and detailed diagnostic parameters at the original vertical resolution
~10 GB
Standard
  • Includes more diagnostic information about the retrieved physical parameters
~100 MB
Summary
  • Good first-look product for a new user to the TROPESS data products
  • Contains the retrieved physical parameters of interest with a minimal set of diagnostic parameters
~10 M

The Archival data product contains all the retrieval processing output parameters in the original pressure level resolution (67 pressure levels). It also reports the retrieved results from all of the observation data used regardless of the quality of the retrieval result. Note that the Standard data product reports only the retrieved results that passed the quality threshold. Because of the high pressure level resolution and the number of observation samples included, the Archival data product is the largest in data size among the three data products. 

The Standard data product consists of key science data fields expected to be of interest for most users including a retrieved state, a priori state, an averaging kernel matrix, and an observation error matrix. The dimension of the pressure levels is between 14 and 31 depending on the physical variable. With the Standard data product, one can compare the TROPESS retrieved vertical profiles with corresponding aircraft or model fields by constructing an observation operator using the a priori state and the averaging kernel matrix and by applying the observation operator to the model/aircraft fields.

The Summary data product contains the subset of the key science data fields from the Standard data product and the column-integrated vectors from the matrix listed in the Standard data product. For example, the Summary product includes a linearized column averaging kernel instead of an averaging kernel matrix in the Standard product. Because of this, the Summary data product is significantly smaller in data size than the Standard data product. With the Summary data product, one can compare the TROPESS column-averaged retrieved quantity with corresponding aircraft or model fields. The Summary data product is ideal for an initial examination of the key retrieved data fields of the TROPESS data products (e.g., a retrieved vertical profile of a given species).  

The TROPESS data products are generated from three processing streams: Forward, Reanalysis, and Special Collection. The Forward Stream provides low-latency products with a latency less than one week while using the most recent retrieval algorithm. The Reanalysis Stream uses a common retrieval algorithm to produce a multidecadal record. The Special-Collection Stream provides on an as-needed and as-available basis to support NASA field campaigns and individual-investigator requests over specific regions (e.g., Australian Fires, Megacities, FIREX-AQ campaign areas, AEROMMA campaign areas).

TROPESS uses satellite Level-1B products (calibrated radiances) from multiple satellite sensors including the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) on Aqua, Cross-track Interferometer Sounder (CrIS) on Suomi-NPP and JPSS-1, Ozone Mapping Instrument (OMI) on Aura, and TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) on Sentinel-5P.  Both a single-instrument retrieval stream and a joint two-instrument retrieval stream are used to generate the TROPESS data products. For example, there are five ozone data products retrieved: AIRS single, OMI single,  AIRS+OMI joint, CrIS/Suomi-NPP single, and CrIS/JPSS-1 single.
