Abstract

The dataset was produced as part of the European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative+ (CCI+) precursors for aerosols and ozone project by the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI). https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-17-4627-2025

TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) global tropospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO2) spatiotemporally averaged per month over a standard grid from May 2018 to December 2021. The dataset is provided in four different spatial resolutions: 0.2x0.2 (900x1800 grid cells), 0.5x0.5 (360x720), 1x1 (180x360), 2x2.5 (91x144) and includes auxilliary variables (e.g. cloud and surface properties, propagated level 3 uncertainties, averaging kernels). The data are provided in monthly netCDF files for each spatial resolution.

Data lineage:

The L3 data were generated by spatiotemporally averaging operational TROPOMI L2 NO2 v2.3.1 data as part of the ESA CCI precursors project. Data was provided to CEDA for archival.
Data Quality:
The L3 were validated against independent groud-based NO2 measurements (Glissenaar et al., 2025).
