  description: 'The Copernicus [Sentinel-5 Precursor](https://sentinels.copernicus.eu/web/sentinel/missions/sentinel-5p)
    mission provides high spatio-temporal resolution measurements of the Earth''s
    atmosphere. The mission consists of one satellite carrying the [TROPOspheric Monitoring
    Instrument](http://www.tropomi.eu/) (TROPOMI). The satellite flies in loose formation
    with NASA''s [Suomi NPP](https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/NPP/main/index.html)
    spacecraft, allowing utilization of co-located cloud mask data provided by the
    [Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite](https://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/current-satellite-missions/currently-flying/joint-polar-satellite-system/visible-infrared-imaging)
    (VIIRS) instrument onboard Suomi NPP during processing of the TROPOMI methane
    product.


    The Sentinel-5 Precursor mission aims to reduce the global atmospheric data gap
    between the retired [ENVISAT](https://earth.esa.int/eogateway/missions/envisat)
    and [AURA](https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/aura/main/index.html) missions and
    the future [Sentinel-5](https://sentinels.copernicus.eu/web/sentinel/missions/sentinel-5)
    mission. Sentinel-5 Precursor [Level 2 data](http://www.tropomi.eu/data-products/level-2-products)
    provide total columns of ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide
    and formaldehyde, tropospheric columns of ozone, vertical profiles of ozone and
    cloud & aerosol information. These measurements are used for improving air quality
    forecasts and monitoring the concentrations of atmospheric constituents.


    This STAC Collection provides Sentinel-5 Precursor Level 2 data, in NetCDF format,
