Finding Your TEMPO: An Introduction to the Mission, Products, and Data Services for Air Quality Observations over North America

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.
