Satellite air pollution data sources are presented in this article. Satellite missions are listed and described, and corresponding instruments measuring the concentration of greenhouse gases or other parameters that affect air pollution. Main data hubs are enumerated, and other platforms providing access to the data in different formats. Some platforms contain tools and services that have the capabilities to process and store the satellite data further. Most of them also provide the visualisation of the data, and other simplifications for data selection.
