From Space to Forecast: Harnessing TEMPO’s Hourly Observations with JEDI for Next-Gen Air Quality Monitoring and Prediction

From Space to Forecast: Harnessing TEMPO’s Hourly Observations with JEDI for Next-Gen Air Quality Monitoring and Prediction

Exciting advances in atmospheric chemistry data assimilation are ahead! Last week, Dr. Maryam Abdi-Oskouei presented the JCSDA team’s advances in assimilating TEMPO (Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution) instrument data with Joint Effort for Data assimilation Integration (JEDI).

In a recent collaborative effort between the Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation (JCSDA) and the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO), we have successfully integrated the newly released Level 2 TEMPO NO2 products into the JEDI data assimilation system using the GEOS-CF model at C360/~25km resolution (the background and the analysis are at the same resolution). This initiative demonstrates the enhanced capability to monitor and produce analyses of atmospheric composition less than 24 hours after official product release, focusing on NO2, a significant pollutant and tracer for air quality.
