Measurements Of Pollution In The Troposphere (MOPITT)
The MOPITT Mission
MOPITT is an instrument flying on NASA's EOS Terra spacecraft, measuring tropospheric carbon monoxide (CO) on the global scale. MOPITT measurements enable scientists to analyze the distribution, transport, sources and sinks of CO, a trace gas produced by methane oxidation, fossil fuel consumption and biomass burning. MOPITT has been operational since March 2000.
Quick Access to Data
The fully-validated MOPITT Version 4 product is now available (see News). Plots have been made of the CO retrievals for each day and monthly averages. The Version 4 Level 2 data have been gridded at 1 degree horizontal resolution. Plots will be added as V4 data is processed. See the News page for dates of, and reasons for, missing data.

- ASDC Data Pool
- Near real-time MOPITT L2 and L3 products are being produced near for applications that need faster access to the data than our normal operational products via the ASDC Data Pool. If collaborators would like access to these files, please contact us.
