• [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
• [DONE] TROPOMI NO2 a priori method -- pull request open Jan 7 2024: processing TROPOMI L2 NO2 data and plot #225
• MODIS AOD
• WRF forecast plots for the ACOM site
• OMI or TROPOMI ozone
• [Pablo Fork] TROPOMI AK HCHO, NO2 and CO
• GEMS comparisons (compare with MUSICA ASIA-AQ RR)

• Look into uxarray for unstructured grids
• [Pablo Fork] Add flag for whether want/need to account for AK
• Moving towards xarray pairing as opposed to PANDAS pairing
• Move other satellite comparisons to xarray plots
• [Develop ACOM SIP] Adding PANDORA
• Adding NDACC FTIR
