Data coverage
Our mission is to put the power of NASA’s satellites down to earth and in your hands. HAQAST is a collaborative team that works in partnership with public health and air quality agencies to use NASA data and tools for the public benefit. Here, you can learn about our team, partnerships, and newsworthy achievements. You… ALANVIIRSCONUS This product provides detailed information about the satellite-based data on artificial light at night (ALAN). The Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day/Night Band (DNB) nighttime lights (NTL) product (VNP46A4, DOI: 10.5067/VIIRS/VNP46A4.001 ) in NASA’s Black Marble suite is used to derive annual summary of ALAN levels throughout the CONUS at both county and tract level for the period of 2012-2020. The PI Dr. Qian Xiao is a member of NASA Heath and Air Quality Applied Sciences Team (HAQAST). HAQTROPOMINO2CONUSAL3 This product provides level 3 annual averages of tropospheric Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) vertical column density derived from the level 2 Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) across the Continental United States oversampled to a spatial resolution of 0.01˚ x 0.01˚ (~1 km2) using a consistent algorithm from the European Space Agency (ESA) version 2.4 that can be used for trend analysis of air pollution. The dataset record began in 2019 and continues to the present. This L3 product was developed by the George Washington University Air, Climate and Health Laboratory as part of the NASA Health Air Quality Applied Science Team (HAQAST) using Level 2 version 2.4 TROPOMI NO2 files from the ESA. The TROPOMI instrument on Sentinel-5 Precursor acquires tropospheric NO2 column contents from low Earth orbit (~824 km above ground level) once per day globally at approximately 13:30 local time. NO2 is an air pollutant that adversely affects the human respiratory system and leads to premature mortality. NO2 is also an important precursor for ozone and fine particulates, which also have severe health impacts. In urban areas, the majority of NO2 originates from anthropogenic NOx (=NO+NO2; most NOx is emitted as NO, which rapidly cycles to NO2) emissions during high-temperature fossil fuel combustion. Tropospheric NO2 vertical column contents are qualitatively representative of near-surface NO2 concentrations and NOx emissions in urban/polluted locations. HAQTROPOMINO2CONUSML3 This product provides level 3 monthly averages of tropospheric Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) vertical column density derived from the level 2 Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) across the Continental United States oversampled to a spatial resolution of 0.01˚ x 0.01˚ (~1 km2) using a consistent algorithm from the European Space Agency (ESA) version 2.4 that can be used for trend analysis of air pollution.

HAQTROPOMINO2CONUSSL3 This product provides level 3 seasonal averages of tropospheric Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) vertical column density derived from the level 2 Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) across the Continental United States oversampled to a spatial resolution of 0.01˚ x 0.01˚ (~1 km2) using a consistent algorithm from the European Space Agency (ESA) version 2.4 that can be used for trend analysis of air pollution.

HAQTROPOMINO2GLOBALAL3 This product provides level 3 annual averages of tropospheric Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) vertical column density derived from the level 2 Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) across the globe oversampled to a spatial resolution of 0.1˚ x 0.1˚ (~10 km2) using a consistent algorithm from the European Space Agency (ESA) version 2.4 that can be used for trend analysis of air pollution.
