Example Resources
- OCO-3 XCO2 Observations - shows the atmospheric column average CO2 at a point in time and space
Warning: this product is still highly experimental.
- TROPOMI observations
Shows the atmospheric column average methane, nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide observations.
- Landsatlook Tool
Landsat imagery can be used to tie the larger GHG values seen from space to local sources.
- Suomi-NPP VIIRS
Nightlight datasets provide an extremely unique perspective on population, economic development and short-term changes caused by disturbances in power delivery, such as conflict, storms, earthquakes, fires and brownouts.
- ODIAC Fossil Fuel Emissions
Note the 1km vs. 100km spatial resolutions.

CSA Resources
- MOPITT
The MOPITT Instrument onboard the NASA Terra Satellite is the longest-running air pollution monitor in space today (20 yrs of carbon monoxide data this year!). With its global concentration datasets that not only indicate the total level of CO, but also CO as a function of altitude (atmospheric profiles), the dataset is ready for your use!
- SCISAT
Canada’s ozone and ozone depleting substance mission measures more carbon-containing molecules than any other satellite in the world (CO, CO2, CH4, CH3OH, HCOOH, H2CO, OCS, HCN, C2H2, C2H4, C2H6). All this data is uniquely available in atmospheric profile format with particular attention to the Earth’s poles (Arctic and Antarctic). Whatever carbon story you want to tell to policy makers, SCISAT has the data to help you!
- Canadian Space Agency Open Data Portal
This portal hosts many datasets linked to Earth science such as atmospheric science, space environment and weather. Come explore!
ESA Resources
- Euro Data Cube
Euro Data Cube is providing seamless access to global archives of Sentinel, Landsat and MODIS datasets, easy to analyze, integrate or run machine learning workflows on.
