TEMPO V03 Beta Level 1, 2, and 3 Product Release
May 29, 2024, 8:50 a.m.
Project: TEMPO
TEMPO Version 03 (V03) Beta Level 1, 2, and 3 data are now available from the NASA Langley Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC) via NASA Earthdata Search. These data are at beta maturity, meaning the product is minimally validated but may still contain significant errors. Because the products at this stage have minimal validation, users should refrain from making conclusive public statements regarding the science and applications of the data products until a product is designated at the provisional validation status.
User Guides describing the data products in this V03 Beta release and associated known issues can be found below. The TEMPO Algorithm Theoretical Basis Documents (ATBDs) are still being finalized and are available upon request. For access to the ATBDs, please contact the ASDC at larc-dl-asdc-tempo@mail.nasa.gov.

TEMPO V03 data are available from May 13, 2024 to present. The TEMPO Science Team is reprocessing earlier TEMPO data from August 2023 – May 2024 into the Version 03 format; these reprocessed data will be released as they are produced, with all previous data expected to be reprocessed within the next few months.
In addition to the data products, the following data services are also now available:
| Tool and Service Availability | L1 Data | L2 Data | L3 Data |
|---|---|---|---|
| Available in Earthdata Search (EDS) | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Subsetting (temporal, spatial bounding box, variable) | No | Yes | Yes |
| Worldview Imagery | No | Yes (selected variables) | Yes (selected variables) |
| Concatenation/Aggregation | No | Yes | No |
| ArcGIS Image Service | No | No | Yes* |
| RSIG | No | Yes | Yes |
*Image service available for TEMPO NO2 L3 vertical column troposphere. Additional variables to be added.
Users may learn more about TEMPO data and its data services through the ASDC TEMPO Storymap and may access the TEMPO NO2 troposphere ArcGIS Image service.
