This notebook illustrates comparison of TEMPO ultra-violet aerosol index (UVAI) against DSCOVR EPIC UVAI as well as comparison of DSCOVR EPIC AOD against AERONET.
Since AERONET data files cannot be downloaded programmatically, a user is supposed to upload an AERONET AOD level 1.5 or 2.0 data file and provide its name as a constant. Since TEMPO spatial coverage is regional and limited to North America, it is user’s responsibilty to select AERONET station within TEMPO’s field of regard (FOR). If the selected station is outside FOR, no TEMPO time series will be generated.
The user is allowed to choose the time period of interest by providing start and end dates in the form YYYYMMDD. Please be aware, that if the selecte period of interest is outside of available time span of one of the sensors, corresponding time series will not be generated.
TEMPO and DSCOVR data are downloaded on-the-fly with earthaccess library.
TEMPO and DSCOVR L2 AER data are interpolated to the location of the selected AERONET station.
