Abstract. The first satellite-based global retrievals of terrestrial sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) were achieved in 2011. Since then, a number of global SIF datasets with different spectral, spatial, and temporal sampling characteristics have become available to the scientific community. These datasets have been useful to monitor the dynamics and productivity of a range of vegetated areas worldwide, but the coarse spatiotemporal sampling and low signal-to-noise ratio of the data hamper their application over small or fragmented ecosystems. The recent advent of the Copernicus Sentinel-5P TROPOMI mission and the high quality of its data products promise to alleviate this situation, as TROPOMI provides daily global measurements at a much denser spatial and temporal sampling than earlier satellite instruments. In this work, we present a global SIF dataset produced from TROPOMI measurements within the TROPOSIF project funded by the European Space Agency. The current version of the TROPOSIF dataset covers the time period between May 2018 and April 2021. Baseline SIF retrievals are derived from the 743–758 nm window. A secondary SIF dataset derived from an extended fitting window (735–758 nm window) is included. This provides an enhanced signal-to-noise ratio at the expense of a higher sensitivity to atmospheric effects. Spectral reflectance spectra at seven 3 nm windows devoid of atmospheric absorption within the 665–785 nm range are also included in the TROPOSIF datas...
