Satellite ComparisonΒΆ

There are currently two satellite processing examples.

  • OMI NO2 comparison without updating the model prior, and

  • TropOMI NO2 comparison with an updated model prior.

Satellite NO2 use modeled NO2 (eg, GMI or TM5) to quantify the vertical distribution of NO2, which allows for a quantitative translation from measurements with differential vertical sensitivity to a best estimate assuming equal sensitivity. Using your own model as the vertical distribution ensures an apples to apples comparison.
