All quality indicators remain within mission requirements during the period 30 April 2018 – 25 April 2019. When compared to the ground-based network, QA-screened S5P data have a positive median bias of 14% or 2.7 DU, and the spread in the intercomparisons is 23% or 4.2 DU. Two types of sampling-related bias patterns can be discerned.http://s5p-mpc-vdaf.aeronomie.be/?option=com_vdaf&view=showReport&format=rawhtml&id=37372019-05-14This document reports consolidated results of the routine operations validation service for the Sentinel-5 Precursor Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument.http://s5p-mpc-vdaf.aeronomie.be/?option=com_vdaf&view=showReport&format=rawhtml&id=36362019-04-15This VDAF web article gives further details on the first comparison results presented in the CH4 product readme file for the methane data product release (see http://www.tropomi.eu/data-products/methane).

This report describes initial validation results for Sentinel-5p TROPOMI L2_NO2 tropospheric column, stratospheric column and total column data: tropospheric and total NO2 column data retrieved with the OFFL processor (v1.0.1), and stratospheric column data retrieved with the OFFL processor (v1.0.1) and the NRTI processor (v1.0.2).
The validation analyses summarised in this article were carried out in May and June 2018 and reported at the 1st Product Release Workshop held at ESA/ESRIN on June 25-26, 2018.
http://s5p-mpc-vdaf.aeronomie.be/?option=com_vdaf&view=showReport&format=rawhtml&id=29292018-09-27Initial Sentinel-5p TROPOMI L2_O3 O3 column data retrieved with the PDGS NRTI processor (v1.0.0) have been compared to reference measurements acquired by instruments contributing to WMO’s Global Atmosphere Watch. Of the order of 20 to 100 co-locations have been identified at about 20 Brewer and Dobson sites and at 11 SAOZ sites, sampling many latitudes from the Arctic to the Antarctic. The following preliminary conclusions could be drawn:
Short scale temporal variations in the ozone column as captured by ground-based instruments are reproduced very similarly by S5P. This overall good agreement is corroborated by Pearson correlation coefficients well above 0.9.The bias between S5P and reference data at individual stations rarely exceeds 3%,and the network-averaged bias is about +1%.The 1-sigma spread of the differences (between S5P and reference data) rarely exceeds 3-4% for the comparisons with direct-sun instruments.The analysis of potential dependence of the S5P bias and spread on key influence quantities, namely, the Solar Zenith Angle (SZA), Air Mass Factor (AMF) and cloud fraction of the S5P measurement, does not reveal any variation of the bias larger than 2% over the range of those influence quantities. The spread of the differences increases up to 7% with increasing SZA.Overall, the quality of the initial L2_O3 PDGS NRTI v1.0.0 data product appears to comply with the S5P mission requirements. Some patterns in S5P vs. GOME-2/MetOp-A comparison maps, seemingly related to cloud cover, require further investigation.

Clear correlations are established. The CAL cloud top height is lower than the CLOUDNET height by ~0.5-1 km and the CRB cloud height is lower than the CLOUDNET mid-height by 0.3-0.5 km.http://s5p-mpc-vdaf.aeronomie.be/?option=com_vdaf&view=showReport&format=rawhtml&id=27272018-07-25This VDAF web article gives further details on the first comparison results presented in the CO product readme file for the CO data product release. The main conclusion is that the product quality of this initial L2 CO dataset complies with the S5P mission requirements.
Current conclusions are however based on a limited initial dataset of measurements between November 2017 and 1 May 2018. The current validation analysis need to be extended over a full year of measurements, hence, a full cycle of key influence quantities, in order to enable detection of potential patterns, dependences, seasonal cycles and longer term features like drifts.http://s5p-mpc-vdaf.aeronomie.be/?option=com_vdaf&view=showReport&format=rawhtml&id=26262018-07-19
