During the CareBeijing campaign in September 2006, Imaging Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (IDOAS) measurements were made over the city of Beijing, China using a spatial resolution of 146 pixels horizontally and 61 pixels vertically, each with a field of view of $0.133^{\circ}$ and $0.072^{\circ}$ in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively. Using Fraunhofer reference spectra (FRS) for the evaluation of data for two consecutive days, the diurnal variation of $NO_2$ distributions was determined from data measured every single hour from 08:00 until 16:00 on September 9 and 10. Both days presented a fairly clear sky with high visibility. The setup allowed detailed images of the low surface $NO_2$ distribution over Beijing. Images with less than a 30-min temporal resolution showed variation of plume dispersal in both horizontal and vertical directions. An in-situ measurement was also conducted. Results from both instruments are interpreted by considering local emission sources and wind conditions.

대기 중에 존재하는 오염물질들에 의한 빛의 흡수가 파장에 따라 달라지는 광학적 원리에 기초한 open path 방식의 Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy(이하 DOAS) 시스템은 대기오염측정에 있어 새로운 장을 개척하고 있다. 기존의 측정방식과 비교할 때 DOAS방식은 여러 오염물질의 실시간 동시 측정을 통해 오염물질의 거동을 파악할 수 있게 함으로써 측정시간의 제약을 극복할 수 있으며, 시료 채취와 실험실 분석으로 나뉘어진 기존 화학적 방식의 기술적 어려움과 비효율성을 극복할 수 있다.

To test the compatibility of differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) and conventional in-situ monitoring technique we conducted a comparative analysis of the two systems using hourly measurement data sets of three criteria pollutants including No$_{2}$O$_{3}$, and SO$_{2}$ collected in months between April and June of 2001 at Sung Man city, Kyung Gi Province, Korea. The results of our comparative analysis were useful to evaluate the various aspects of DOAS performance, of particular the level of agreement with the counterpart method through computation of percent differences and correlation analysis. Interpretation of the mixing ratio data for those chemical species was however confined in terms of explaining the differences affected by the changes in environmental conditions because measurements of important meteorological parameters were limited during most of the study period. Nevertheless, the overall results of this study strongly demonstrated that the mixing ratio of major pollutants measured by the two different systems maintain strong compatibility from various respects.

In this study, the effect of wavelength range and absorption cross-section used to retrieve nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) vertical column density (VCD) from Pandora was analyzed using Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS). During the GEMS Map of the Air Pollution (GMAP) 2020 campaign, data from direct sunlight observation with Pandora instrument in Seosan was used, and NO₂ VCD was retrieved under four conditions. The average NO₂ VCD under the four conditions ranged from 1.22×10¹⁶~1.38×10¹⁶ molec. cm^-2, with a maximum difference of 0.16×10¹⁶ molec. cm^-2 between each condition. The fitting error averaged 3.19~9.59%, showing an error within 10% in all cases, and the RMS was 5.11×10^-3~7.16×10^-3 molec. cm^-2. The retrieved NO₂ VCD using 4 conditions shows a slope in the range of 0.98 to 1.09 and correlation of 0.96 to 0.98 in comparison with Pandonia Global Network (PGN).

$NO_2$ vertical column densities were retrieved via ground based Multi-Axis Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) measurements for the first time for 6 months over the spring season in 2007 and 2008 in Seoul, one the megacities in the Northeast Asia. The retrieved $NO_2$ vertical column densities were compared with those obtained from space borneOzone Monitoring Instrument (OMI). Over the entire measurement period, the $NO_2$ vertical column densities measured by MAX-DOAS ranged from $1.0{\times}10^{15}molec{\cdot}cm^{-2}$ to $6.0{\times}10^{16}molec{\cdot}cm^{-2}$ while those obtained by OMI ranged $1.0{\times}10^{15}molec{\cdot}cm^{-2}$ to $7.0{\times}10^{16}molec{\cdot}cm^{-2}$. The correlation coefficient between $NO_2$ vertical column densities obtained from MAX-DOAS and OMI is 0.73 for the entire measurement period whereas the correlation coefficient of 0.85 is found for the dates under the clear sky condition. The cloudy condition is thought to play a major role in increase in uncertainty of the retrieved OMI $NO_2$ vertical column densities since air mass factor may induce high uncertainty due to the lack of cloud and aerosol vertical distribution information.

대기 중에 존재하는 오염물질들을 광학적 원리에 기초하여 open path 방식으로 관측할 수 있는 Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (이하 DOAS) 시스템은 대기오염관측의 기본적인 관념을 타파할 수 있는 하나의 대안으로 떠오르고 있다 (Lindqvist et al., 1990). 비록 아직까지 이러한 시스템으로 분석가능한 모든 관측대상물질들에 대한 검정방식의 객관성이 확보되지는 않고 있지만, $SO_2$, $O_3$, $NO_2$를 포함하는 일부 기준성 항목들의 경우 미국의 EPA나 독일의 TUV와 같은 기관들에 의해 공인받았을 정도로 측정방식의 객관성을 인정받는 추세에 있다.

In this study, we investigated the effects of the spectral fitting window and absorption cross-section on the retrieval of the formaldehyde (HCHO) slant column density (SCD) from the direct-sun measurement of pandora spectrometer system using differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS). Pandora Level 1 data observed at Yonsei University in Seoul from October 12 to 31, 2022 were used. The HCHO column density was retrieved under eight ranges including the spectral fitting window used in the Second Cabauw Intercomparison campaign for Nitrogen Dioxide measuring Instruments (CINDI-2) and seven types of absorption cross-section composition. The spectral fitting window was selected from 336.5 to 359.0 nm with minimum residual and HCHO SCD error. When the nitrogen dioxide (NO2) absorption cross-section at 220 K was added to the cross-section composition used in the CINDI-2 campaign among seven types, the residual and HCHO SCD error were the smallest and the HCHO column density wasstably retrieved. The average HCHO SCD with the highest retrieval accuracy and the values retrieved under other conditions differed from a minimum of 4% to a maximum of 40%.

Despite the extensive investigations to understand the difference between ground-based and space-borne measurements, there still exist differences in total ozone (TO) measured at those two different platforms. Comparisons were carried out for the first time between TO data obtaiend from the ground based Dobson and Brewer spectrophotometers, and the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on board EOS-Aura satellite in a megacity site in Northeast Asia. The TO values retrieved by the OMI-DOAS (Differential optical absorption spectroscopy) algorithm tend to be lower than those measured by the ground based sensors in spring and summer as well as the low solar zenith angle condition. We found that such underestimation of the OMI-DOAS TO is caused by tropospheric ozone underestimated by the OMI-DOAS algorithm when tropospheric ozone are significantly enhanced.
