【 摘 要 】

Tropospheric NO₂ columns observed from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) were evaluated and the seasonal characteristics were analyzed at eastern China with surface measurements. A comparison between the DP (DOMINO) and SP (Standard Product) tropospheric NO₂ products from OMI different algorithms shows similar spatial and temporal variability, but DP is generally higher than SP by 13% in wintertime and lower 9% in summertime on average over East China. Larger differences occur on the significantly contaminated regions. The differences in seasonality are associated with emissions sources. In order to investigate and monitor the air pollution monitoring over east China, the relative contributions of the stratosphere–troposphere separation and air mass factors calculations to the observed difference between DP and SP tropospheric NO₂ columns were compared. The seasonal difference due to stratosphere–troposphere separation is opposite in sign to the tropospheric vertical columns. Air mass factors (AMFs) of DP are smaller than SP AMFs, leading to higher DP tropospheric columns. Impacts induced by different AMFs calculation are crucial. Then, the differences of four cities in significant polluted areas were compared. The results showed apparent discrepancies between two products in local region with irregular monthly variation, however the seasonal mean columns demonstrated that basically DP is larger than SP. Overall, this study analyses the discrepancies in DP and SP, as well as the seasonal variations over East China which is an important implication for the control of nitrogen oxides.
