The Enhancing Air Quality Analysis for Cities using TEMPO is a NASA-funded project to advance the capability of TEMPO. The project intends to use the geostationary satellite’s output to understand and model air quality for dense urban spaces. The project will particularly focus on PM2.5 and Ozone. The project will use field observations, urban-scale models, and AI/ML methods to enhance the TEMPO outputs.
Currently, TEMPO is mainly intended to be used at regional scales. Our goal is to extend its applicability to city and neighborhood scales where air quality is a major issue impacting health and infrastructure.
The project combines mobile field measurements of primary pollutants, high-resolution urban air quality modeling, and AI/ML based models to underdstand and forecast air quality at relevant urban scales.
