D-B_I.4.1.1 S5P XCH4 data interface and data quality

Description

The PDF-document describes the data format of the TROPOMI/WFMD XCH₄ product, the interface for use in ITMS and provides the validation and assessment of the data quality with regard to its suitability for ITMS, including error characterisation and test data for Module M. The data analysis provides realistic estimates for random and systematic errors as well as for the uncertainties of the data product and relates these figures of merit to the mission and user requirements.

The TROPOMI/WFMD v1.8 product is currently available from the beginning of 2018 up to April 2024 on the website of the University of Bremen.
