Introduction

This report is automatically generated on an hourly cycle and overviews the current EVDC upload status of PGN datasets.

Currently existing PGN datasets on EVDC for direct sun total column amount NO2 (rnvs1) using BlickP processor version p1-7 will be replaced by processor version p1-8 (rnvs3).p1-7 datasets are alredy turned off in terms of routine upload. Therefore, the operationally available upload will constantly decrease for rnvs1p1-7, as soon as a dataset is in preparation for p1-8. Consequently, the operationally available upload for p1-8 datasets will constantly increase, also by adding new locations. Additionally, new data products for direct sun total column amounts will be uploaded for p1-8.

In theory, 234 datasets (Pandora at a given location) are planned to be submitted to EVDC for all dataproducts. However, a pre-filtering of individual sites and gases is done on PGN site in order provide only reliable datasets for satellite validation. In the following sections, tables will list the status “operationallyAvailable” with the following categories:

  • yes: upload active / historic datasets uploaded
  • turned off: category for 1.7 datasets where instrument is either not operational anymore.
  • planned: planned datasets to be uploaded in the future
  • in preparation: datasets already in preparation by a calibration team member which are expected to be uploaded in the near future after an initial quality assurance has been applied.

The following tables list row-wise the dataset for each Pandora, where it is possible that one Pandora has several locations certified. Conversely, it is possible that a certain location is listed multiple times for different Pandoras. The typical case would be that one Pandora replaces another one to have a continuous time series. However, it is also possible to have co-located instruments at one site measuring on the same days.

Each table has the possibility to filter what is listed by using the search window, in combination with sorting by a certain column. Additionally, the entire (filtered) table can be downloaded as CSV, EXCEL, or PDF.

Direct sun measurements

Direct sun total NO2

rnvs1p1-7

This was the first direct sun total column amount NO2 dataproduct on EVDC which is not updated for existing p1-7 timeseries. All p1-7 datasets will be replaced by an updated p1-8 dataset rnvs3p1-8. Therefore, the following table will become smaller whenever a datasets is switched to the p1-8 processor.

rnvs3p1-8

Direct sun total O3

rout2p1-8

Direct sun total HCHO

rfus5p1-8

Direct sun total SO2

rsus1p1-8

Off-axis measurements

Tropospheric column

Tropospheric column NO2

rnvh3p1-8

Tropospheric column HCHO

rfuh5p1-8

Partial column

Partial column NO2

rnvh3p1-8

Partial column HCHO

rfuh5p1-8

Surface number density

Surface number density NO2

rnvh3p1-8

Document Change Record

Since this html is automatically generated, the content is always changing. However, the document change record is keeping track of general changes of what is presented, and in which way.

2025-04-29

Saving csv’s for each measureand as csv table to make it accessible via https://evdc-exchange.pandonia-global-network.org/csv/

2025-03-26

Adding products from sky retrievals nvh3 and fuh5 for tropospheric columns, partial columns, and surface number density. Restructuring into direct sun and off-axis measurements.

2024-11-12

Change in backend query to pandonia-global-network url and using generic backend config file

2023-03-06

Implemented the same dataset logic as for POp-2 reporting: only official datasets (PandoraID + location) that have at least 15 L0 files, and instruments which are at certified testing locations (Innsbruck,GreenbeltMD).

2022-06-30

Removed duplicated datasets, where PandoraID+location is the same if an instrument has been at another location within the timeperiod.

2022-03-23

Removed rownames from the tables (e.g. P138.1) which was supposed to describe the dataset for a certain Pandora ID. Added an additional column with the Pandora ID.

2022-03-21

Added GEOMS-name as part of each table. Renamed ‘lon’ to ‘longitude’,‘lat’ to ‘latitude’,and ‘alt’ to altitude. pgnName is still included, but put at the end of each table.

2022-03-10

Report has been completely re-designed in order to overview the individual gases (NO2, O3, HCHO, SO2) and specific rcodes of PGN dataproducts which are or will be submitted to EVDC, respectively. The previous version only included NO2 for processor version 1.7 (nvs1p1-7).
