Estimating the NOx produced by lightning from GOME and NLDN data: a case study in the Gulf of Mexico
Nitrogen oxides (NOx=NO+NO2) play an important role in tropospheric chemistry, in particular in catalytic ozone production. Lightning provides a natural source of nitrogen oxides, dominating the production in the tropical upper troposphere, with strong impact on tropospheric ozone and the atmosphere’s oxidizing capacity. Recent estimates of lightning produced NOx (LNOx) are of the order of 5 Tg...

متن کاملEstimates of lightning NOx production from GOME satellite observations
Tropospheric NO2 column retrievals from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) satellite spectrometer are used to quantify the source strength and 3-D distribution of lightning produced nitrogen oxides (NOx=NO+NO2). A sharp increase of NO2 is observed at convective cloud tops with increasing cloud top height, consistent with a power-law behaviour with power 5±2. Convective production of ...

متن کاملRemote sensed and in situ constraints on processes affecting tropical tropospheric ozone
We use a global chemical transport model (GEOSChem) to evaluate the consistency of satellite measurements of lightning flashes and ozone precursors with in situ measurements of tropical tropospheric ozone. The measurements are tropospheric O3, NO2, and HCHO columns from the GOME satellite instrument, lightning flashes from the OTD and LIS satellite instruments, profiles of O3, CO, and relative ...
