TEMPO is the first space based instrument to monitor air pollution over North America hourly. Here’s more from TEMPO:

NASA’s first Earth Venture Instrument mission will measure pollution of North America, from Mexico City to the Canadian oil sands, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific hourly and at high spatial resolution. TEMPO observations are from the geostationary vantage point, flying on a telecommunications host spacecraft with the goal to launch in 2023.
