Air Quality Satellite Monitoring by TROPOMI on Sentinel-5P

The latest launched Sentinel satellite mission, the Sentinel-5 Precursor (Sentinel-5P) is one of the European Space Agency's (ESA) new mission family - Sentinels. The sole payload on Sentinel-5P is the TROPspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI), which is a nadir-viewing 108 degree Field-of-View push-broom grating hyperspectral spectrometer, covering the wavelength of ultraviolet-visible (270 nm to 495 nm), near infrared (675 nm to 775 nm), and shortwave infrared (2305 nm - 2385 nm). Sentinel-5P is the first of the Atmospheric Composition Sentinels and is providing measurements of ozone, NO₂, SO₂, CH₄, CO, formaldehyde, aerosols and cloud at high spatial, temporal and spectral resolutions. The NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC) is one of the 12 Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs) within NASA's Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS). The GES DISC archives and supports over a thousand data collections in the Focus Areas of Atmospheric Composition, Water & Energy Cycles, and Climate Variability. Under the End User License Agreement between NASA and ESA, GES DISC is curating TROPOMI Level-1B and Level-2 products and providing information services through enhanced tools and services that offer facile solutions for complex Earth science data and applications. This presentation will demonstrate up-to-date TROPOMI products including earthview radiance, solar irradiance, aerosol layer height, Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, and cloud, as well as easy ways to access, visualize and subset TROPOMI data.
