ArcGIS Image Service for TEMPO Cloud Fraction Near Real-Time (NRT) V02 Data Now Available

TEMPO Level 3 Cloud Fraction NRT V02 data are now available as an ArcGIS image service via the NASA Earthdata GIS portal and Esri’s Living Atlas of the World.

The TEMPO NRT products are useful for applications with low-latency requirements. The NRT processing optimizes radiance calibration, image navigation and registration, and cloud and trace gas retrievals for rapid processing, while ensuring that product quality is sufficient for most NRT applications. Data are updated hourly with any new scans received during a rolling two-day period.

Users can now subset and convert TEMPO Level 2 data into CSVs using the Subsetter And Multi-dimensional Batched Aggregation in Harmony (SAMBAH) via harmony-py.

Comma Separated Values (CSV) Automation Service for Processing & Easy Retrieval (CASPER) is a new Harmony service available through SAMBAH. CASPER converts Earthdata NetCDF outputs into a CSV format delivering significant value across multiple user scenarios and technical environments. CSV offers seamless integration with existing data pipelines, particularly for users working with databases, cloud-based data warehouses, and systems designed around simple tabular formats—eliminating the need for additional preprocessing steps. This functionality is not yet available through the Earthdata Search interface; ASDC expects to add this capability in a future release. See this Earthdata Forum Post for an example and additional details.
