Estimates of power plant NOx emissions and lifetimes from OMI NO2 satellite retrievals
Accurate estimations of power plant NOx emissions can be made with OMI data. Exponentially-Modified Gaussian fit needs multi-annual OMI averages. Box Model fit requires seasonal OMI averages for accurate estimates. Lifetimes are dominated by a mixed lifetime that does not represent chemical lifetime. Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) provides an excellent emissions test bed. CEMS Emi...
متن کاملConstraint of anthropogenic NOx emissions in China from different sectors: a new methodology using multiple satellite retrievals
A new methodology is developed to constrain Chinese anthropogenic emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from four major sectors (industry, power plants, mobile and residential) in July 2008. It combines tropospheric NO2 column retrievals from GOME-2 and OMI, taking advantage of their different passing time over China (∼10:00 a.m. LT (local time) versus ∼02:00 p.m.) and consistent retrieval algorit...
متن کاملEstimation of greenhouse gases emissions from urban traffic: a case study of Hamadan city
Background and Objective: Transportation sector generates the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions (CO2 and CH4) which causes global warming. “Stop-and-go” driving and congested traffic flow results in a decrease in average car speeds, an increase in traffic incidents, and finally escalates GHGs emissions. Hence, congestion is directly related to carbon emissions. The objective of this stu...
متن کاملEvaluation of Satellite Retrievals of Ocean Chlorophyll-a in the California Current
Retrievals of ocean surface chlorophyll-a concentration (Chla) by multiple ocean color satellite sensors (SeaWiFS, MODIS-Terra, MODIS-Aqua, MERIS, VIIRS) using standard algorithms were evaluated in the California Current using a large archive of in situ measurements. Over the full range of in situ Chla, all sensors produced a coefficient of determination (R) between 0.79 and 0.88 and a median a...
متن کاملInverse modeling of global and regional CH4 emissions using SCIAMACHY satellite retrievals
[1] Methane retrievals from the Scanning Imaging Absorption Spectrometer for Atmospheric Chartography (SCIAMACHY) instrument onboard ENVISAT provide important information on atmospheric CH4 sources, particularly in tropical regions which are poorly monitored by in situ surface observations. Recently, Frankenberg et al. (2008a, 2008b) reported a major revision of SCIAMACHY retrievals due to an u...
