Tropospheric Chemistry: Satellite Remote Sensing and Comparison to Numerical Models |
||
|
Knowledge of the spatial and temporal variation of NOx emissions from regional to global scales and from weekly to decadal time horizons is required to study the role that nitrogen oxides play in the formation of tropospheric ozone and acid rain. Satellite borne observations of tropospheric NO2 columns in conjunction with Chemical Transport Models from regional to global scales will be used to evaluate and improve bottom-up NOx emission inventories. ESRL has extensive experience and is among the leaders in research in these areas, which are key for understanding of atmospheric chemistry and climate. |
