TEMPO was selected in 2012 by NASA as the first Earth Venture Instrument, for launch
between 2018 and 2021. It will measure atmospheric pollution for greater North America
from space using ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy. TEMPO observes from Mexico City,
Cuba, and the Bahamas to the Canadian oil sands, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
hourly and at high spatial resolution (~ 2.1 km N/S× 4.4 km E/W at 36.5° N, 100° W). TEMPO

TEMPO was selected in 2012 by NASA as the first Earth Venture Instrument, for launch circa
2018. It will measure atmospheric pollution for greater North America from space using
ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy. TEMPO measures from Mexico City to the Canadian tar
sands, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, hourly and at high spatial resolution (~ 2 km N/S×
4.5 km E/W at 36.5° N, 100° W). TEMPO provides a tropospheric measurement suite that
includes the key elements of tropospheric air pollution chemistry. Measurements are from …
