Portico. doi:10.1029/2007gl029326.0094-8276http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:28344268Aggressive measures were instituted by the Beijing municipal authorities to restrict vehicular traffic in the Chinese capital during the recent Sino-African Summit. We show that reductions in associated emissions of NOx were detected by the Dutch-Finnish Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) aboard the Aura satellite. Interpretation of these data using a 3-dimensional chemical transport model indicates that emissions of NOx were reduced by 40% over the period of November 4 to 6, 2006, for which the restrictions were in place.en-USJournal Article2016-09-0910.1029/2007GL029326
