  2. Outline • NO2 from OMI, DISCOVER-AQ and CMAQ • Concentrations & Trends • Urban/rural • Profiles • GRIPS: Geostationary Remote Infrared Pollution Sounder • Am Chem Soc MARM meeting session May 2012.

  3. DISCOVER AQ Ground, model, air and satellite comparisons at a single location Slide prepared by Clare Flynn, UMD PhD Candidate, AOSC

  4. CEMS Emission (point sources) Trends NOx NOx: Large decrease after SIP call in 2003; OH/PA/WV  only scrub NOx during ozone season until January 2009; further decrease for all states after 2009. Hao He.

  13. GRIPSGeostationary Remote Infrared Pollution Sounder Carbon Monoxide from GEO Methane from GEO Ratios of trace gases provide unique fingerprints that can help us identify emission sources. GRIPS can distinguish pollution sources using CO2 / CO and CO2 / CH4 ratios. Augmenting GRIPS with data from a UV/Vis spectrometer such as GEMS will allow further categorization. For example, with SO2 and NO2 measurements we can further distinguish sources.

  14. Thank You Conclusions NO2 Concentrations from OMI are in reasonable agreement with aircraft columns and Pandora. Both remote and in situ observations reflect impressive downward trends. The urban/rural ratio is smaller in observations than in CMAQ. Emissions can be evaluated with proposed remote sensing instruments.

  15. GRIPSGeostationary Remote Infrared Pollution Sounder Instrument Overview GRIPS employs the well-tested gas filter correlation radiometry (GFCR) technique, used successfully by HALOE, MOPITT, and other satellite instruments. Solar reflected and thermal IR radiation is filtered through gas-cells at different pressures. The gas filters provide superior spectral resolution, and can separate the signature of the measurement gas at different altitudes (see figure below). GRIPS will provide boundary layer, mid-tropospheric, and total column concentrations of CO, CO2 and CH4 over the entire Asian continent with 8 km nadir resolution. To measure each species, light is collected by a 4-telescope bundle hosting gas cells at different pressures. The 4 beams are focused on a cooled HgCdTe detector array. One bundle each is used for CH4, CO2, N2O and O2. CO requires two bundles. The O2 and N2O measurements are for mitigating effects of aerosols, clouds and surface pressure variations. The bundles can be configured to fit the available space, and one possible configuration is shown here on the pointing gimbal 45 cm GRIPS Instrument Mass: 38 kg Power: 23 W Data Rate: 5 Mb/s Volume: 0.13 m3
