I'm a founder of an early stage startup from Germany and we're using TROPOMI data for our product development.

The TROPOMI measurements are critical for my action on climate change.

Time series of observations are essential to monitor climate change.

To combat climate change it is important to have good data, therefore we should keep the TROPOMI as long as possible until a viable alternative is in operation

Please do not decommission Tropomi. It is important to keep this infrastructure running.

The early afternoon orbit of S-5p helps to study the diurnal variability of trace gases together with other missions (e.g., of overpass times of satellites measuring methane are: Sentinel-5 at ~09:30 LT, MicroCarb at ~10:30 LT, CO2M planned at ~11:30 LT, Merlin planned at ~06:00 and ~18:00 LT, …) and is an essential reference for other missions (Tip and Cue) dedicated to the detection of point and distributed emission sources.

TROPOMI is critical for monitoring air quality. While S5 provides complimentary information it cannot replace S5P. The loss of S5P TROPOMI would be a huge loss for our ability to monitor our home planet.

It would be a disaster for atmospheric science and emission inventories, which nowadays rely heavily on TROPOMI data.

TROPOMI continues to provide essential data and is not redundant with Sentinel 5. In addition, we will be losing the NASA EOS missions in the next few years with a significant impact on data assimilation systems for global chemical transport prediction.

The launch of sentinel-5 does not negate the need for TROPOMI. Without a multi year overlap, there is no way to cross check the measurements. It would break the continuity of a long term dataset which cannot be retroactively repaired.

So many researchers rely on this data and it is more important than ever in backing up climate action with evidence

TROPOMI data is very productive for research and Policy implication for environmental management across the globe. Therefore, it is necessary to continue with the TROPOMI observations.

Being an atmospheric composition and AQ modeller, I want to highlight the necessity of adequate monitoring through a multitude of sensors. This is the only way to provide sufficient constraints to the models and policy making processes.

We need data, when we are getting this good at the analysis part. future solutions depend on it

I think it’s very important to keep the research on climate change and air quality going, especially in the current environment. Therefore, we need to keep TROPOMI live.

why waste this investment and reliable source of real data? collecting data is important to keep the truth on top of stories

It is the best source of info for independent emissions verification of NO2

TROPOMI data is very useful in air quality monitoring and to be continued till the end of life
