High-resolution inversion of OMI formaldehyde columns to quantify isoprene emission on ecosystem-relevant scales: application to the Southeast US
Isoprene emissions from vegetation have a large effect on atmospheric chemistry and air quality. ‘Bottom-up’ 25 isoprene emission inventories used in atmospheric models are based on limited vegetation information and uncertain land cover data, leading to potentially large errors. Satellite observations of atmospheric formaldehyde (HCHO), a high-yield product of isoprene oxidation, provide ‘top-...
متن کاملStatistical Approach to Validation of Satellite Atmospheric Retrievals
A mathematical model for statistical estimate of the bias and noise in satellite retrievals of atmospheric profiles and a case study are presented. The model allows accurate validation of actual performance of the remote sensing system while in orbit by comparing its measurements to correlative data sets, e. g. radiosonde network. The model accounts for the following factors: (i) The satellite ...
متن کاملFormaldehyde distribution over North America: Implications for satellite retrievals of formaldehyde columns and isoprene emission
[1] Formaldehyde (HCHO) columns measured from space provide constraints on emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Quantitative interpretation requires characterization of errors in HCHO column retrievals and relating these columns to VOC emissions. Retrieval error is mainly in the air mass factor (AMF) which relates fitted backscattered radiances to vertical columns and requires extern...
متن کاملEstimates 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...
