This sounds very interesting. I hadn't heard of TEMPO.

Reference and data are spread across orgs/sites.

Here's what Level 1, L2, and L3 mean: https://tempo.si.edu/data_for_scientists.html

ASDC has info about data formats etc (as PDFs ofc) https://asdc.larc.nasa.gov/project/TEMPO

And Earthdata seems to be the warehouse + visualizer https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search?fpj=TEMPO&as[projec...

I want to see real time air quality data for where I live, is there an actual map?

I don't think that's available from this data set yet. I use PurpleAir's apps and the web view for real time info https://map.purpleair.com/

This sounds superb. We need more coverage than just North America though.

TEMPO is one of three similar instruments, GEMS for Asia and Sentinel 4 for Europe.

Is creating a global composite possible from aggregate sensing data?
