Comparison of GOME tropospheric NO2 columns with NO2 profiles deduced from ground-based in situ measurements
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) vertical tropospheric column densities (VTCs) retrieved from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) are compared to coincident ground-based tropospheric NO2 columns. The ground-based columns are deduced from in situ measurements at different altitudes in the Alps for 1997 to June 2003, yielding a unique long-term comparison of GOME NO2 VTC data retrieved by a colla...
متن کاملA transboundary transport episode of nitrogen dioxide as observed from GOME and its impact in the Alpine region
High tropospheric NO2 amounts are occasionally detected by space-borne spectrometers above cloudy scenes. For monitoring of near-ground air pollution such data are not directly applicable because clouds shield the highly polluted planetary boundary layer (PBL). We present a method based on trajectories which implicitly estimates the additional subcloud NO2 distribution in order to model concent...
متن کاملEvaluation of GOME satellite measurements of tropospheric NO2 and HCHO using regional data from aircraft campaigns in the southeastern United States
[1] We compare tropospheric measurements of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and formaldehyde (HCHO) from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) satellite instrument with in situ measurements over eastern Texas and the southeast United States. On average, the GOME and in situ measurements of tropospheric NO2 and HCHO columns are consistent despite pronounced sampling differences. The geometric mea...
متن کاملSP-531 Envisat Validation Workshop
In order to assess the level-2 data retrieval accuracy of selected trace gases (O3, NO2, H2O) from SCIAMACHY and MIPAS, which are part of the atmospheric instrumentation on the recently launched ENVISAT satellite, operational and some scientific products are validated by comparison with other space borne instruments (GOME, HALOE, SAGE II, POAM III). First results of these satellite intercompari...
متن کاملComparison and evaluation of modelled and GOME measurement derived tropospheric NO2 columns over Western and Eastern Europe
We present the results of a first comparison of the tropospheric NO2 column amounts derived from the measurements of the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) with the simulated data from a European scale chemistry transport model (CTM) which is distinct from existing global scale CTMs in higher horizontal resolution and more detailed description of the boundary layer processes and emission...
