    • HAQAST Sentinel-5P TROPOMI Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) CONUS Monthly Level 3 0.01 x 0.01 Degree Gridded Data V2.4 (HAQ_TROPOMI_NO2_CONUS_M_L3) at GES DISC

    Metadata Updated: September 19, 2025

    This product provides level 3 monthly averages of tropospheric Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) vertical column density derived from the level 2 Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) across the Continental United States oversampled to a spatial resolution of 0.01˚ x 0.01˚ (~1 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 May 2018 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.
