Sentinel-5P

Atmospheric Composition

The Copernicus Sentinel-5 Precursor mission is the first Copernicus mission dedicated to monitoring our atmosphere. Copernicus Sentinel-5P is the result of close collaboration between ESA, the European Commission, the Netherlands Space Office, industry, data users and scientists. The mission consists of one satellite carrying the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) instrument. The TROPOMI instrument was co-funded by ESA and The Netherlands.

Sentinel-5P L1B

Level-1B products are provided as NetCDF files for 10 bands with dedicated product types (BD1 to BD8 plus SIR and UVN).

They are geo-located and radiometrically corrected top of the atmosphere Earth radiances in all spectral bands, as well as solar irradiances.

Sentinel-5P L2
Level-2 products are provided as NetCDF files for 10 bands with dedicated product types:
  • geolocated total columns of ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and methane (O3, SO2, NO2, CO, HCHO, CH4),
  • geolocated vertical profiles of ozone (O3_TCL),
  • geolocated cloud, absorbing aerosol index and aerosol layer height (CLOUD, AER_AI, AER_LH). There are three types of timeliness: NRT (near real time), OFFL (Offline), and RPRO (reprocessed).

NRT are available within 3 hours after sensing and cover a swath. They are kept available during one month. OFFL are available within 5 days after sensing and cover a full orbit. More details about the definition of those products here.
