Isoprene Emissions in Africa Inferred from OMI Observations of Formaldehyde Columns
(European Geosciences Union, 2012)
We use 2005–2009 satellite observations of formaldehyde (HCHO) columns from the OMI instrument to infer biogenic isoprene emissions at monthly 1 × 1° resolution over the African continent. Our work includes new approaches ...
The United States' Next Generation of Atmospheric Composition and Coastal Ecosystem Measurements: NASA's Geostationary Coastal and Air Pollution Events (GEO-CAPE) Mission
(American Meteorological Society, 2012)
The Geostationary Coastal and Air Pollution Events (GEO-CAPE) mission was recommended by the National Research Council's (NRC's) Earth Science Decadal Survey to measure tropospheric trace gases and aerosols and coastal ...
Intercomparison Methods for Satellite Measurements of Atmospheric Composition: Application to Tropospheric Ozone from TES and OMI
(European Geosciences Union, 2010)
We analyze the theoretical basis of three different methods to validate and intercompare satellite measurements of atmospheric composition, and apply them to tropospheric ozone retrievals from the Tropospheric Emission ...
Spatial Distribution of Isoprene Emissions from North America Derived from Dormaldehyde Column Measurements by the OMI Satellite Sensor
(American Geophysical Union, 2008)
Space-borne formaldehyde (HCHO) column measurements from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), with 13 × 24 km2 nadir footprint and daily global coverage, provide new constraints on the spatial distribution of biogenic ...
First Directly Retrieved Global Distribution of Tropospheric Column Ozone from GOME: Comparison with the GEOS-CHEM Model
(American Geophysical Union, 2006)
We present the first directly retrieved global distribution of tropospheric column ozone from Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) ultraviolet measurements during December 1996 to November 1997. The retrievals clearly ...
Quantifying the Seasonal and Interannual Variability of North American Isoprene Emissions Using Satellite Observations of the Formaldehyde Column
(American Geophysical Union, 2006)
Quantifying isoprene emissions using satellite observations of the formaldehyde (HCHO) columns is subject to errors involving the column retrieval and the assumed relationship between HCHO columns and isoprene emissions, ...
Space-Based Formaldehyde Measurements as Constraints on Volatile Organic Compound Emissions in East and South Asia
(American Geophysical Union, 2007)
We use a continuous 6-year record (1996–2001) of GOME satellite measurements of formaldehyde (HCHO) columns over east and south Asia to improve regional emission estimates of reactive nonmethane volatile organic compounds ...
Air mass factor formulation for spectroscopic measurements from satellites: Application to formaldehyde retrievals from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2001)
We present a new formulation for the air mass factor (AMF) to convert slant column measurements of optically thin atmospheric species from space into total vertical columns. Because of atmospheric scattering, the AMF depends ...
Global inventory of nitrogen oxide emissions constrained by space-based observations of NO2 columns
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2003)
We use tropospheric NO2 columns from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) satellite instrument to derive top-down constraints on emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx ≡ NO + NO2), and combine these with a priori ...
Monitoring high-ozone events in the US Intermountain West using TEMPO geostationary satellite observations
(Copernicus GmbH, 2014)
High-ozone events, approaching or exceeding the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS), are frequently observed in the US Intermountain West in association with subsiding air from the free troposphere. Monitoring ...
