Abstract
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is one of the most important air pollutants in the troposphere. It is toxic by inhalation and creates many problems to human health. Therefore, it is much needed to regularly monitor and validate tropospheric NO2 columns with ground based in situ measurements. NO2 columns can be retrieved from SCIAMACHY spectra with high accuracy. The objective of this research paper is to compare the satellite measurements (SCIAMACHY) of tropospheric NO2 vertical column with ground based in situ measurements. The study area has been selected as North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) of Germany. The research has been designed to compare remote sensing data of NO2 with interpolated in situ ground measurement at the same time. This research shows a weak correlation between the satellite observation and the in situ ground measurements of NO2 concentrations in near real time.
