1 Randall Martin Space-based Constraints on Emissions of Nitrogen Oxides With contributions from: Chris Sioris, Kelly Chance (Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory) Lyatt Jaeglé (Univerisity of Washington) Yongtao Hu, Armistead Russell (Georgia Tech) Tom Ryerson (NOAA)

2 Relative Uncertainty Global Surface NO x Emissions Uncertain to Factor of 2 Implications for Tropospheric Ozone, Aerosols, and Indirect Effect Here in Tg N yr -1 (based on) Fossil Fuel 24 (GEIA) Biomass Burning 6 (Duncan et al., 2003) Soils 5 (Yienger and Levy, 1995) NOx Emissions (Tg N yr -1 ) Fossil Fuel (20-33) Biomass Burning (3-13) Soils (4-21)

3 Top-Down Information from the GOME and SCIAMACHY Satellite Instruments Nadir-viewing solar backscatter instruments including ultraviolet and visible wavelengths Low-elevation polar sun-synchronous orbit, late morning observation time GOME 1995-2002 Spatial resolution 320x40 km 2 Global coverage in 3 days SCIAMACHY 2002-present Spatial resolution 60x30 km 2 Global coverage in 6 days

4 Cloud-filtered Tropospheric NO 2 Columns Determined from SCIAMACHY May-Oct 2004 detection limit Retrieval based on Martin et al., 2002, 2003 Retrieval: Spectral fit Remove stratosphere Account for scattering

Spatial location of FF- dominated regions in a priori (>90%) 1 Biomass Burning 2. Spatiotemporal distribution of fires used to separate BB/soil VIRS/ATSR fire counts Soils No fires + background 2 Jaeglé et al., 2005

12 Soil emissions A posteriori 70% larger than a priori! A priori A posteriori Largest soil emissions: seasonally dry tropical + fertilized cropland ecosystems (±200%) (±90%) r 2 = 0.62 Soils Onset of rainy season: Pulsing of soil NO x ! North Eq. Africa Jaeglé et al., 2005 Soils East Asia
