Aura is already providing the first-ever daily, direct global measurements of low altitude or tropospheric ozone and many other pollutants that affect our air quality. Moreover, Aura delivers its results with unprecedented clarity over a region. The instruments onboard will help scientists monitor pollution production and transport around the world.
Aura tropospheric NO2 data are available in Google Earth, .hdf, and .txt format can be found here for daily and monthly images. Click on one of the icons below the montlhly images for the format of interest.
