Lessons learned from OMI observations of point source SO 2 pollution and suggestions for GEO-CAPE requirements N. Krotkov (NASA/GSFC) V. Fioletov, C. McLinden (Environment Canada) K. Yang (Univ. of Maryland)

Lesson 1: Averaging OMI pixels allows detection of weak sources with enhanced ground resolution SO 2 signal may be not detectable in a single OMI pixel. This rectangular “pixel” is light pink However, it is possible to see the source and even to determine its exact location by averaging a large number of individual satellite pixels. In this plot, a pixel is light pink if it covers the source (x) and it is white otherwise. x

We used SO 2 Emissions source inventory (for 2006) (thanks to Mike Moran et al., Environment Canada) Top 100 emission sources for the US Top 20 Canadian emission sources Sources located within several km were combined into one The largest “combined” source is about 300 kT per year The largest single US source is about 200 kT per year The oil sands site emissions are about 120 kT per year

We used OMI PBL SO 2 data to examine average spatial patterns from the top pollution point sources OMI daily SO 2 data do not show any obvious pollution signals except for exceptionally strong sources (e.g., Norilsk, Russia and Ilo, Peru smelters, China) We applied: Data filtering: by Cross-track position (10-50) by cloud fraction (<0.2) by solar zenith angle (<60) by SO 2 values (to remove outliers and volcanic SO 2 ) Spatial smoothing Local bias correction No AirMass Factor adjustment [ Lee et al 2009] - this will be implemented in Level 3 SO2 data due to release in May

Mean total column SO 2 and NO 2 values for 2 sites (Mildred Lake and Fort Chipwyan) as a function of the distance between the site and the pixel centre -- Fort Chipwyan -- Mildred Lake The whiskers show the 5th and 95th percentiles, the box edges represent the 25th and 75th percentiles, the center is drawn at the median value. We found that point sources of SO 2 in the US produce elevated SO 2 values over a relatively small area: within 20km

60 km SO 2 from OMI, average for For each grid point of a 2x2 km grid, all overpasses centered within a 12 km from that point were averaged OMI smallest pixel size

SO 2 Source #10 (John Amos power plant, 2900 MW, ~110 kT/year of SO 2 )

US Source #1.Bowen Coal Power Plant, Georgia (3500 MW), SO 2 emissions: 170 kT in 2006 “In 2008, the mammoth construction program yielded the first scrubbers, sophisticated equipment that will reduce our overall systems emissions by as much as 90 percent” Georgia Power website

OMI data show a substantial decline in mean SO 2 values over Western US between and

Mildred Lake, Alberta, Canada. Oil Sands. Mean OMI SO 2 for May-August Lesson 2: Important SO 2 targets outside CONUS

Annual SO 2 emissions vs. and estimates from a fit of mean OMI SO 2 by 2D Gaussian function ( data) Fit where If is in DU, i.e. in 2.69 · mol·km -2, and σ x,σ y are in km, then a is in 2.69·10 26 mol. Since, a is the total number of molecules. Mean OMI SO2 Fit Residuals Y = X R=0.78 for sources<150kT/year R=0.88 for all sources Lesson 3: It appears that OMI SO 2 data can be used to monitor sources that emit more than 80 kT per year

Suggestions for GEO-CAPE measurement requirements: High spatial resolution (a few km) is required for emission monitoring. Increase SO 2 measurement precision requirement: ~0.1 DU ~ molecules / cm 2 Plan for frequent measurements of selected regions: (~100/day ) Staring mode of observations including targets in Canada (e.g., Oil Sands), Mexico and S. America (Peruvian smelters, degassing volcanoes )
