Validation, Day of Week and Seasonal Perspectives on Satellite NO 2 Ronald C. Cohen UC Berkeley

We need to become the AQ community and they need to be integrated with us. As long as it is “us” and “them” we are failing. To date the “AQ” data has been best digested by colleagues in a position to look at the whole globe. There has been relatively little work that takes advantage of the daily coverage or high spatial resolution. The California Air Resources Board is supporting use of OMI to identify strategies for producing high spatial resolution NO x inventories with day- of-week information.

Day of the Week Variation by Season OMI Winter Summer Spring Fall

Fitting to an emissions inventory that doesn’t vary by day of week introduces a bias (and one that will be different for models with large pixels sizes (sizes large compared to  NO2 ) than models with small pixel sizes. OH depends on NO 2 and therefore the NO 2 lifetime depends on NO 2. Also NO 2 + O 3 can contribute— especially in winter and this rate is maximum when NO 2 = O 3 and will be underestimated in large scale models.

Conclusions/Ideas NO/NO 2 photostationary state is likely a more accurate way to calculate surface NO 2 from the monitoring network than using a model of NO z. In any case it is model independent and preserves some separation between data and models. OH and NO 2 are strongly coupled on spatial scales of a single OMI/SCIA/GOME-II pixel. Day of week variation can teach us a lot about sources and the quality of retrievals—since some factors are not strongly correlated with day of week; AMFs, stratosphere, etc. Seasonal variations provide strong hints about soil emissions. More analysis of mechanisms needed.
