Year-long emissions inventories of criteria air pollutants, greenhouse gases, and hazardous air pollutants 🇺🇸
Spatial analysis of EPA data, via cumbersome platform or downloaded to GIS. Good for: Mapping emissions and their sources.
Global data available daily from 2019 - present 🌎
Tropospheric vertical column densities of nitrogen dioxide from highest resolution instrument in orbit. Good for: health risk and indicator of fossil fuel combustion (also provides SO2, HCHO, and other metrics. “Level 2” refers to the satellite data processed into air quality metrics, at the native resolution of the instrument.)
Pre-defined or custom gridded data 🌎
Same as Level-2, but allocated to a grid for easier analysis. Other satellite products follow the same Level-2, Level-3 terminology. Good for: Comparing satellite data to ground-based measurements or air quality models. Boost resolution by averaging data over time.
