There are different data products associated with the three levels of TROPOMI processing:
The Level-1B and Level-2 products will be made available from the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem.
Level-0 products are:
- Time-ordered, raw satellite telemetry without temporal overlap, including sensor data of the 4 spectrometers, for both atmospheric and calibration measurements. Also included are engineering (e.g. housekeeping) data, satellite ancillary (e.g. position, attitude) data and acquisition Metadata as required for on-ground processing and monitoring tasks. Level 0 data are not provided to the public.
Level-1B products are:
- geo-located and radiometrically corrected top of the atmosphere Earth radiances in all spectral bands, as well as solar irradiances.
User documentation for these products is available in the Products and Algorithms Technical Guide.
Level-2 products are:
- geolocated total columns of ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and methane
- geolocated tropospheric columns of ozone
- geolocated vertical profiles of ozone
- geolocated cloud and aerosol information (e.g. absorbing aerosol index and aerosol layer height)
User documentation for these products is available in the Products and Algorithms Technical Guide.
There are three types of processing required: NRT (near real time), OFFL (Offline), and reprocessing.
For NRT processing the availability of products must be within 3 hours after sensing. Total columns of ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, vertical profiles of ozone, cloud & aerosol information will be provided in NRT.
For OFFL processing the data availability depends on the product. The currently planned NTC delivery times are:
- for Level 1B products within about 12 hours after sensing
- for methane, tropospheric ozone and corrected total nitrogen dioxide columns within about 5 days after sensing.
For reprocessing activities there are no time constraints. Reprocessing of Sentinel-5 Precursor products will be performed when major product upgrades are considered necessary.
