Overview 1. There are issues with the current (version 2) NO 2 slant column density (SCD) retrievals; 2. Resolution and emissions of model NO 2 profiles used in retrievals are important; 3. Surface reflectivity has significant impact on NO 2 retrievals Next talk by Sergey Marchenko Talk by Alexander Vasilkov at 3:20 PM

 V2 validation: OMI strat NO 2 higher than other measurements Krotkov et al., 2012 (Aura Science Team Meeting)  Goddard SCD: Algorithm from scratch, thoroughly evaluated, data available for entire 2005 and few months from other years (Next talk by Sergey Marchenko) Marchenko et al., 2015, JGR  New KNMI SCD: Modification in existing algorithm van Geffen et al., 2015, AMT NO 2 Slant Column Densities (SCDs): Development Current version (V2) DOMINO (KNMI) SCD (KNMI) OMNO2A OMNO2 (Goddard) Next version (V3) DOMINO (KNMI) SCD (Goddard) OMNO2 (Goddard) SCD (KNMI)

V2.0 SCD (OMNO2A & DOMINO) Goddard SCD Orbit March 20, 2005 % Difference (Goddard - V2.0 SCD ) Goddard SCDs are 10-45% Lower Than Current V2.0 SCDs, and Have Reduced Striping

Orbit March 20, 2005 V2.0 SCD (10 15 molec. cm -2 ) Goddard SCD (10 15 molec. cm -2 ) Ratio (Goddard/V2.0 SCD) V2.0 SCD (10 15 molec. cm -2 ) Difference (Goddard-V2.0 SCD) Relative difference Absolute difference SCD Difference Has Both Additive and Multiplicative Components

Most SCD Bias Ends up in the Stratospheric Estimates (Goddard SCD) March 20, 2005 % Difference in stratospheric NO 2 (Goddard-V2.0)  Stratospheric NO 2 based on Goddard SCDs are 20-35% lower (vs V2.0 data), and are in better agreement with SCIAMACHY/GOME-2 results.

SCD Bias also Affects Tropospheric Retrievals (Goddard SCD) March 20, 2005 Difference in tropospheric NO 2 (Goddard-V2.0) % Difference in trop NO 2 (Goddard-V2.0) Goddard trop NO 2 (10 15 molec. cm -2 )  Tropospheric NO 2 based on Goddard SCDs are 10-25% lower (vs V2.0 data), and the difference varies with column amount

Sensitivity of AMF to A-Priori NO 2 Profiles: Spatial Resolution We have generated monthly NO 2 profiles for each year from a high resolution (1°×1.25°) GMI global simulation with year-specific emissions.  A factor of 4 increase in resolution changes retrievals by up to 15% in some locations. GMI, June, 2005 sza=45, vza=30, raz=45 (AMF 2x2.5 – AMF 1x1.25 )/AMF 1x1.25 2x2.5° 1x1.25°

Sensitivity of AMF to A-Priori NO 2 Profiles: Emission Inventory OMI NO 2 (2010 July) Retrievals w/ 2005 profilesRetrievals w/ 2010 profiles ABA / B  Profiles based on outdated emissions can introduce significant retrieval errors – overestimation where emissions have reduced and underestimation where emissions have increased.

Lamsal et al., 2015 (Atmos. Env.) Sensitivity of AMF to A-Priori NO 2 Profiles: Improvement in Accuracy of Estimated Trends  If profiles used in retrievals are based on outdated (and constant) emissions, they could affect trends by 1-2%/year (e.g. over USA).

GMI simulation for June, 2005 (AMF NoL – AMF L )/AMF L sza=45, vza=30, raz=45 Sensitivity of AMF to A-Priori NO 2 Profiles: Lightning NO x  Neglecting lightning NO x changes profiles, AMFs, and therefore VCDs  Some users (e.g. BEHR product) recalculate AMF using high-resolution regional model profiles that may not include lightning NO x emissions.What errors might they introduce in the data they generate?

Sensitivity of AMF to Surface Reflectivity  0.01 change in surface reflectivity can change retrieval by 2-20%. Changes are larger for low reflective surface and high NO 2 levels. GMI, June, 2005 Eastern US sza=45, vza=30, raz=45 Polluted Moderate Unpolluted % change in AMF for 0.01 change in reflectivity %

AMF & Surface Reflectivity: Issues  OMI operational NO 2 algorithms use surface LER climatology from Kleipool et al.,  Coarse resolution (0.5°×0.5°),  Cloud and aerosol contaminations  Regional scientific studies/products using high resolution MODIS products (All limited over land) StudiesReflectivity type (MODIS) Modification in cloud and aerosols?

AMF & Surface Reflectivity: LER Comparison OMI orbit (November 13, 2006) OMI LER Kleipool et al, 2008 MODIS-derived LER Difference (MODIS – OMI LER) Cloud? Sun glint LER changes due to angles Preliminary

AMF & Surface Reflectivity: Effect on AMF Preliminary OMI orbit (November 13, 2006) Difference (MODIS – OMI)  Changes in AMF with MODIS-based LER within ±20%; smaller than previously reported.

Future Plans  Release of new version (V3) of OMNO2 early next year;  Version 3 will include new Goddard SCD and high-resolution NO 2 profiles from GMI with year-specific emissions;  Continue working on MODIS-based reflectivity, aerosols, and fully coupled NO 2 and cloud retrievals for a longer term plan.

Model profiles should be based on more accurate mixing scheme and PBL heights.
