• [DONE] MOPITT CO comparisons, level 3 with AK application -- pull request open Mar 4, 2024: add MOPITT CO L3 pairing and updates to satplot #251
• Evaluate xarray versus PANDAS pairing, and determine when to use either
• [DONE] TROPOMI NO2 -- pull request open Jan 7 2024: processing TROPOMI L2 NO2 data and plot #225
• MODIS AOD
• WRF forecast plots for the ACOM site

• TROPOMI HCHO and CO
• GEMS comparisons (compare with MUSICA ASIA-AQ RR/ CONUSRR simulation)
• TEMPO comparisons (compare with MUSICA ASIA-AQ RR/ CONUSRR simulations)
• Look into uxarray for unstructured grids
• Add flag for whether want/need to account for AK
