Estimates of power plant NOx emissions and lifetimes from OMI NO2 satellite retrievals
نویسندگان
چکیده
Accurate estimations of power plant NOx emissions can be made with OMI data. Exponentially-Modified Gaussian fit needs multi-annual OMI averages. Box Model fit requires seasonal OMI averages for accurate estimates. Lifetimes are dominated by a mixed lifetime that does not represent chemical lifetime. Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) provides an excellent emissions test bed. CEMS Emissions Change (%) B ox M od el E m is si on s C ha ng e (% ) a r t i c l e i n f o

Anthropogenic emissions of NOx over China: Reconciling the difference of inverse modeling results using GOME2 and OMI measurements
Inverse modeling using satellite observations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) columns has been extensively used to estimate nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions in China. Recently, the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment-2 (GOME-2) and Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) provide independent global NO2 column measurements on a nearly daily basis at around 9:30 and 13:30 local time across the equator, respecti...
متن کاملSatellite NO2 retrievals suggest China has exceeded its NOx reduction goals from the twelfth Five-Year Plan
China's twelfth Five-Year Plan included pollution control measures with a goal of reducing national emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 10% by 2015 compared with 2010. Multiple linear regression analysis was used on 11-year time series of all nitrogen dioxide (NO2) pixels from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) over 18 NO2 hotspots in China. The regression analysis accounted for variations...
متن کاملNOx emission estimates during the 2014 Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing
The Nanjing Government applied temporary environmental regulations to guarantee good air quality during the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) in 2014. We study the effect of those regulations by applying the emission estimate algorithm DECSO (Daily Emission estimates Constrained by Satellite Observations) to measurements of the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI). We improved DECSO by updating the chemic...
متن کاملSatellite constraints of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from India based on OMI observations and WRFChem simulations
[1] In this work, we map and develop for the first time an independent satellite constrained NOx emission inventory for India for 2005 using an inverse technique and iterative procedure. We used OMI tropospheric NO2 column retrievals over the Indian region, with tropospheric NO2 columns simulated by the WRF‐Chem model using the INTEX‐B emission inventory. We determined the local relationship be...
متن کاملValidation of OMI tropospheric NO2 observations during INTEX-B and application to constrain NOx emissions over the eastern United States and Mexico
We compare tropospheric NO2 column measurements from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) aboard the EOS Aura satellite with coincident in situ aircraft measurements on vertical spirals over the southern United States, Mexico, and the Gulf of Mexico during the INTEX-B campaign in March 2006. Good correlation with no significant bias (r 1⁄4 0:67, slope 1⁄4 0:99 0:17, n 1⁄4 12) is found for the ...
