1 Lok Lamsal, Nickolay Krotkov, Sergey Marchenko, Edward Celarier, William Swartz, Wenhan Qin, Alexander Vasilkov, Eric Bucsela, Dave Haffner 19 th OMI Science Team Meeting KNMI, De Bilt August 31, 2015 Improvement of NASA Operational OMI NO 2 Retrievals lok.lamsal@nasa.gov

2 Overview 1. There are issues with the current (version 2) NO 2 slant column density (SCD) retrievals; 2. Resolution and emissions of model NO 2 profiles used in retrievals are important; 3. Surface reflectivity has significant impact on NO 2 retrievals Next talk by Sergey Marchenko Talk by Alexander Vasilkov at 3:20 PM

3 3)De-striping 4)Strat-trop separation 3)De-striping 4)Strat-trop separation 1) Spectral fit (DOAS) 1) Spectral fit (DOAS) 2)RTM NO 2 and T profiles Reflectivity Cloud fraction/pressure Aerosols Surface pressure Viewing geometry AM F NO 2 SCD NO 2 tropospheric VCD NO 2 stratospheric VCD Retrieval Scheme for OMI Stratospheric and Tropospheric NO 2

4  V2 validation: OMI strat NO 2 higher than other measurements Krotkov et al., 2012 (Aura Science Team Meeting)  Goddard SCD: Algorithm from scratch, thoroughly evaluated, data available for entire 2005 and few months from other years (Next talk by Sergey Marchenko) Marchenko et al., 2015, JGR  New KNMI SCD: Modification in existing algorithm van Geffen et al., 2015, AMT NO 2 Slant Column Densities (SCDs): Development Current version (V2) DOMINO (KNMI) SCD (KNMI) OMNO2A OMNO2 (Goddard) Next version (V3) DOMINO (KNMI) SCD (Goddard) OMNO2 (Goddard) SCD (KNMI)

5 V2.0 SCD (OMNO2A & DOMINO) Goddard SCD Orbit 03610 March 20, 2005 % Difference (Goddard - V2.0 SCD ) Goddard SCDs are 10-45% Lower Than Current V2.0 SCDs, and Have Reduced Striping

6 Orbit 03610 March 20, 2005 V2.0 SCD (10 15 molec. cm -2 ) Goddard SCD (10 15 molec. cm -2 ) Ratio (Goddard/V2.0 SCD) V2.0 SCD (10 15 molec. cm -2 ) Difference (Goddard-V2.0 SCD) Relative difference Absolute difference SCD Difference Has Both Additive and Multiplicative Components

7 Most SCD Bias Ends up in the Stratospheric Estimates (Goddard SCD) March 20, 2005 % Difference in stratospheric NO 2 (Goddard-V2.0)  Stratospheric NO 2 based on Goddard SCDs are 20-35% lower (vs V2.0 data), and are in better agreement with SCIAMACHY/GOME-2 results.

8 SCD Bias also Affects Tropospheric Retrievals (Goddard SCD) March 20, 2005 Difference in tropospheric NO 2 (Goddard-V2.0) % Difference in trop NO 2 (Goddard-V2.0) Goddard trop NO 2 (10 15 molec. cm -2 )  Tropospheric NO 2 based on Goddard SCDs are 10-25% lower (vs V2.0 data), and the difference varies with column amount

9 Sensitivity of AMF to A-Priori NO 2 Profiles: Spatial Resolution We have generated monthly NO 2 profiles for each year from a high resolution (1°×1.25°) GMI global simulation with year-specific emissions.  A factor of 4 increase in resolution changes retrievals by up to 15% in some locations. GMI, June, 2005 sza=45, vza=30, raz=45 (AMF 2x2.5 – AMF 1x1.25 )/AMF 1x1.25 2x2.5° 1x1.25°

10 Sensitivity of AMF to A-Priori NO 2 Profiles: Emission Inventory OMI NO 2 (2010 July) Retrievals w/ 2005 profilesRetrievals w/ 2010 profiles ABA / B  Profiles based on outdated emissions can introduce significant retrieval errors – overestimation where emissions have reduced and underestimation where emissions have increased.

11 Lamsal et al., 2015 (Atmos. Env.) Sensitivity of AMF to A-Priori NO 2 Profiles: Improvement in Accuracy of Estimated Trends  If profiles used in retrievals are based on outdated (and constant) emissions, they could affect trends by 1-2%/year (e.g. over USA).

12 GMI simulation for June, 2005 (AMF NoL – AMF L )/AMF L sza=45, vza=30, raz=45 Sensitivity of AMF to A-Priori NO 2 Profiles: Lightning NO x  Neglecting lightning NO x changes profiles, AMFs, and therefore VCDs  Some users (e.g. BEHR product) recalculate AMF using high-resolution regional model profiles that may not include lightning NO x emissions.What errors might they introduce in the data they generate?

13 Sensitivity of AMF to Surface Reflectivity  0.01 change in surface reflectivity can change retrieval by 2-20%. Changes are larger for low reflective surface and high NO 2 levels. GMI, June, 2005 Eastern US sza=45, vza=30, raz=45 Polluted Moderate Unpolluted % change in AMF for 0.01 change in reflectivity %

14 AMF & Surface Reflectivity: Issues  OMI operational NO 2 algorithms use surface LER climatology from Kleipool et al., 2008.  Coarse resolution (0.5°×0.5°),  Cloud and aerosol contaminations  Regional scientific studies/products using high resolution MODIS products (All limited over land) StudiesReflectivity type (MODIS) Modification in cloud and aerosols? Russell et al., 2011 (BEHR) BSA as LERNo Zhou et al, 2012BSA, WSA, BRF as LER also, Complete BRDF model No Lin et al., 2015 (POMINO, Dalhouse AMF) Complete BRDF modelYes

15 AMF & Surface Reflectivity: Our Approach Talk by Alexander Vasilkov OMI MODIS (Land only) BRDF Model Geometry VLIDORT (V2.7) Land LER Ocean LER LER R = TOA radiance R 0 = Path scattering reflectance of atm T = Atmospheric transmittance S = Spherical albedo of atmosphere Cox-Munk + Water Leaving Radiance Model

16 AMF & Surface Reflectivity: LER Comparison OMI orbit 012399 (November 13, 2006) OMI LER Kleipool et al, 2008 MODIS-derived LER Difference (MODIS – OMI LER) Cloud? Sun glint LER changes due to angles Preliminary

17 AMF & Surface Reflectivity: Effect on AMF Preliminary OMI orbit 012399 (November 13, 2006) Difference (MODIS – OMI)  Changes in AMF with MODIS-based LER within ±20%; smaller than previously reported.

18 Future Plans  Release of new version (V3) of OMNO2 early next year;  Version 3 will include new Goddard SCD and high-resolution NO 2 profiles from GMI with year-specific emissions;  Continue working on MODIS-based reflectivity, aerosols, and fully coupled NO 2 and cloud retrievals for a longer term plan.

Model profiles should be based on more accurate mixing scheme and PBL heights.
