NOx emissions archive of TROPOMI

NOx surface emissions derived by the DECSO algorithm from TROPOMI observations of tropospheric NO2 columns. The resolution of the emissions is 0.2 degree (about 20 km) or higher (5 or 10 km)

Data Version and Issues

Information about the data versions can be found here. The emission estimates are still in an experimental phase, and should be used with care.
