Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III on the International Space Station (SAGE III/ISS) Validation of Three Years of Ozone and Water Vapor Data

The Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III (SAGE III) instrument installed on the International Space Station (ISS) has completed three years of data collection and production of science data products. The SAGE III/ISS is a solar and lunar occultation instrument that scans the light from the Sun and Moon through the limb of the Earth’s atmosphere to produce vertical profiles of aerosol, ozone, water vapor, and other trace gases. It continues the legacy of previous SAGE instruments dating back to the 1970s to provide data continuity of stratospheric constituents critical for assessing trends in the ozone layer. This presentation shows the validation results of comparing SAGE III/ISS ozone and water vapor vertical profiles with those of in situ and satellite data.

ASDC Distribution and Services of TEMPO Data

The Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of POllution (TEMPO) instrument represents a groundbreaking advancement in remote sensing technology, providing real-time and high-resolution measurements of atmospheric pollutants and air quality monitoring. This presentation will highlight the significance of TEMPO and its data distribution by NASA’s Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC) to facilitate the analyses by the research and end user communities. TEMPO's geostationary orbit allows for continuous and high-resolution measurements of key atmospheric pollutants, including nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), ozone (O 3 ), and formaldehyde (HCHO). As a result, researchers can investigate the distribution patterns of these pollutants on an hourly basis, providing valuable information for understanding regional and temporal variations in air quality. Furthermore, this presentation will highlight the usability of TEMPO data in complementing ground-based air quality monitoring networks. ASDC distribution services and tools facilitate efficient data handling and analysis to support research and application uses of TEMPO data. As part of NASA’s Earthdata ecosystem, TEMPO will be available through Earthdata Search and Worldview, as well as have variable and spatial subsetting capabilities. This presentation will provide an overview of data access and services available for TEMPO data.
