The TEMPO Level 2 products contain the data values of the measured geophysical variables at the same resolution and location as the Level 1 source data; this results in irregularly spaced data. In contrast, the TEMPO Level 3 are regridded onto a regular grid, and are derived by combining information from all Level 2 files constituting a TEMPO East-West scan cycle. Additional information about individual data products can be found in their respective user guides.
