IB Io dt() EARTH SURFACE Local Air Mass Factor (AMF) Calculation Radiative Transfer Model Atmospheric Chemistry Model “a-priori” Shape factor sigma () SO2 mixing ratio CSO2() Scattering weight () is temperature dependent cross-section INDIVIDUAL OMI SCENES • Calculate w() as function of: • solar and viewing zenith angle • surface albedo, pressure • cloud pressure, aerosol • OMI O3 column
Local Air Mass Factor Improves Agreement with Aircraft Observations (INTEX-A and B) OMI SCIAMACHY Uniform AMF:slope = 1.6, r = 0.71 Local AMF:slope = 0.95, r = 0.92 Uniform AMF:slope = 1.3, r = 0.78 Local AMF:slope = 1.1, r = 0.89 Lee et al., JGR, 2009
Extend Air Mass Factor Calculationto Longer Time Period Provide daily local SO2 AMFs and scattering weights so any model can be used in the analysis

Accuracy of Mass Balance Approach for SO2 and NOx Emissions? • Mass Balance Approach • exploits short lifetimes • Easily implemented for many forward models • Infer emissions E from local trace gas column Ω Box A Box B
Accuracy of Mass Balance Approach for SO2 and NOx Emissions? Test with Adjoint Approach • Mass Balance Approach • exploits short lifetimes • Easily implemented for many forward models • Infer emissions E from trace gas column Ω • Adjoint Approach • Explicitly accounts for spatial smearing • Minimize Cost Function J~[model(E)-obs(Ω)]2 • Use adjoint model to calculate sensitivities λ • to produce improve estimate of E
