atmosphere ESA ESA Copernicus active
In plain English

What it measures. Provides ozone concentrations across 33 atmospheric levels, mapping its vertical distribution.

How it's made. Comes from the TROPOMI sensor on ESA Copernicus's Sentinel-5P satellite, reprocessed as a Level-2 product so the long-term record is consistent.

How & where you'd use it. Used for multi-year studies of how ozone is layered through the atmosphere, spanning both air quality and the ozone layer.
