Launched in April 2023, NASA’s Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) satellite monitors major air pollutants across North America every daylight hour at high spatial resolution at a geostationary orbit (GEO). With these measurements, NASA’s Synergistic TEMPO Air Quality Science (STAQS) mission integrated TEMPO satellite observations with traditional air quality monitoring to improve understanding of air quality science. STAQS was conducted during summer 2023, targeting urban areas, including Los Angeles, New York City, and Chicago.
