Map of TEMPO measurements of nitrogen dioxide over Southern California at 12:14 pm EDT, August 2, 2023 illustrating higher levels of nitrogen dioxide over Los Angeles
The Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) instrument collected its “first light” measurements of nitrogen dioxide air pollution over North America on August 2, 2023. This image shows TEMPO measurements of nitrogen dioxide over Southern California at 12:14 pm EDT.

NASA's Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) mission is the first space-based instrument to monitor major air pollutants across the North American continent every daylight hour at high spatial resolution.

TEMPO is an ultraviolet and visible spectrometer that sits on a commercial satellite in a geostationary orbit about 22,000 miles above Earth's equator. This vantage point enables TEMPO to monitor daily variations in ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and other key elements of air pollution from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from Mexico City and the Yucatan Peninsula to the Canadian oil sands.

This webinar will provide an overview of the TEMPO mission and its data products and will show you how to discover and access TEMPO data products using NASA's Earthdata Search. This includes finding documentation, performing searches and filtering, using subsetting/concatenation services in Earthdata Search, and utilizing the Earthdata Forum.
