TEMPO gridded formaldehyde total column V03 (PROVISIONAL)

Published by NASA/LARC/SD/ASDC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: November 03, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-09-11

Formaldehyde Level 3 files provide trace gas information on a regular grid covering the TEMPO field of regard for nominal TEMPO observations. Level 3 files are derived by combining information from all Level 2 files constituting a TEMPO East-West scan cycle. The files are provided in netCDF4 format, and contain information on formaldehyde vertical columns, ancillary data used in air mass factor calculations and reference sector or de-striping corrections, and retrieval quality flags. The re-gridding algorithm uses an area-weighted approach. These data reached provisional validation on December 9, 2024.
