This product provides level 3 annual averages of tropospheric Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) vertical column density derived from the level 2 Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) across the globe oversampled to a spatial resolution of 0.1˚ x 0.1˚ (~10 km2) using a consistent algorithm from the European Space Agency (ESA) version 2.4 that can be used for trend analysis of air pollution. The dataset record began in January 2019 and continues to the present. This L3 product was developed by the George Washington University Air, Climate and Health Laboratory as part of the NASA Health Air Quality Applied Science Team (HAQAST) using Level 2 version 2.4 TROPOMI NO2 files from the ESA. The TROPOMI instrument on Sentinel-5 Precursor acquires tropospheric NO2 column contents from low Earth orbit (~824 km above ground level) once per day globally at approximately 13:30 local time. NO2 is an air pollutant that adversely affects the human respiratory system and leads to premature mortality. NO2 is also an important precursor for ozone and fine particulates, which also have severe health impacts. In urban areas, the majority of NO2 originates from anthropogenic NOx (=NO+NO2; most NOx is emitted as NO, which rapidly cycles to NO2) emissions during high-temperature fossil fuel combustion. Tropospheric NO2 vertical column contents are qualitatively representative of near-surface NO2 concentrations and NOx emissions in urban/polluted locations.

Starting from August 6th in 2019, Sentinel-5P TROPOMI along-track high spatial resolution (~5.5km at nadir) has been implemented.For data before August 6th of 2019, please check S5P_L2__NO2____1 data collection.The Copernicus Sentinel-5 Precursor (Sentinel-5P or S5P) satellite mission is one of the European Space Agency's (ESA) new mission family - Sentinels, and it is a joint initiative between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the ESA. The sole payload on Sentinel-5P is the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI), which is a nadir-viewing 108 degree Field-of-View push-broom grating hyperspectral spectrometer, covering the wavelength of ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS, 270nm to 495nm), near infrared (NIR, 675nm to 775nm), and shortwave infrared (SWIR, 2305nm-2385nm). Sentinel-5P is the first of the Atmospheric Composition Sentinels and is expected to provide measurements of ozone, NO2, SO2, CH4, CO, formaldehyde, aerosols and cloud at high spatial, temporal and spectral resolutions.The TROPOMI retrieval of total and tropospheric NO2, is based on the DOMINO approach, a DOAS retrieval, a pre-calculated air-mass factor (AMF) look-up table, and a data assimilation/chemistry transport model for the separation of the stratospheric and tropospheric contributions to the NO2 column. It also include many retrieval developments of the European Quality Assurance for Essential Climate Variables (QA4ECV) project.

Copernicus Sentinel-5P tropospheric ozone data products are retrieved by the convective-cloud-differential (CCD) algorithm to derive the tropospheric ozone columns and by the cloud slicing algorithm (CSA) to derive mean upper tropospheric ozone volume mixing ratios above the clouds. The S5P_TROPOZ_CCD algorithm uses TROPOMI Level-2 ozone column measurements and the cloud parameters provided by the S5P_CLOUD_OCRA and S5P_CLOUD_ROCINN, the average values of the tropospheric ozone columns below 270 hpa can be determined. The S5P_TROPOZ_CSA algorithm uses the correlation between could top pressure and the ozone column above the cloud. The retrieval depends on the amount of measurements with a high cloud cover. The products are restricted in the tropical region (-20 degrees to 20 degrees of latitude). The main outputs of the Copernicus S5P/TROPOMI tropospheric ozone product include the tropospheric ozone column and corresponding errors, upper tropospheric ozone and corresponding errors, stratospheric ozone column and corresponding errors, and the retrieval quality flags. The data are stored in an enhanced netCDF-4 format.

The background normalization of the slant columns is essential for weak absorbent like formaldehyde to compensate for possible systematic offsets. The main outputs of the DOAS algorithm are the vertical column density (VCD), SCD, AMF, uncertainty, AK, and quality flags.
