Leveraging TEMPO Data: Tools and Services for Air Quality Monitoring and Research from the Atmospheric Science Data Center

NASA’s Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC) at Langley Research Center will present an overview of the Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) mission, focusing on the cutting-edge tools and services available to users for air quality research and environmental monitoring. TEMPO is a pioneering geostationary satellite that provides day light hourly observations of pollutants over North America, including measurements of ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and other critical pollutants.This presentation will highlight the ASDC’s role in archiving, distributing, and providing user support for TEMPO data. Attendees will be introduced to data access tools, visualization platforms, and analysis services designed to facilitate the use of TEMPO observations for scientific research and decision-making. Key resources, such as NASA Earthdata Search, Earth GIS, OPeNDAP, Worldview, Github Tutorials and Harmony services on the cloud, will be showcased, demonstrating how researchers can efficiently explore and download high-resolution data products.Additionally, the presentation will cover the application of TEMPO data in studying air quality trends, emission sources, and the impacts of pollution on public health and climate. Attendees will also gain insights into ASDC's open science initiatives, which encourage collaboration and data sharing to enhance the impact of TEMPO and NASA’s broader Earth science mission.Through this presentation, the ASDC aims to empower the scientific community with the tools and knowledge needed to harness the full potential of TEMPO data in addressing pressing environmental challenges.
