MOPITT CO gridded daily means (Near and Thermal Infrared Radiances) V009

Published by NASA/LARC/SD/ASDC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: May 18, 2026 at 03:17 PM | Dataset Last Updated: May 11, 2026
MOP03J_9 is the Measurements Of Pollution In The Troposphere (MOPITT) Carbon Monoxide (CO) gridded daily means (Near and Thermal Infrared Radiances) version 9 data product. It contains daily mean-gridded versions of the daily Level 2 CO profile and total column retrievals. For this data product, the averaging kernels associated with each retrieval are also gridded and included in the Level 3 files. For a description of the file contents, refer to the File Spec Document. The MOPITT Level 2 Data Quality Statement contains additional information about the retrievals' quality and limitations. MOPITT was successfully launched into sun-synchronous polar orbit aboard Terra, NASA's first Earth Observing System spacecraft, on December 18, 1999. The MOPITT instrument was constructed by a consortium of Canadian companies and funded by the Space Science Division of the Canadian Space Agency. Data collection for this product was completed in March of 2020.
