The distribution and changes of tropospheric nitrogen dioxide ($NO_2$) are analyzed using the satellite measurements data from GOME (Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment) and SCIMACHY (SCanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY). We produced global maps of tropospheric $NO_2$ for 4 seasons using GOME measurements from January 1997 to June 2003. The global distribution shows high values in regions with dense population and high industrialization. Tropospheric $NO_2$ shows obvious seasonal changes depending on its emission and lifetime. Based on the good agreement between two instruments in the time period of overlapping measurements (January 2003-June2003), we linked SClAMACHY data to the GOME time series. The combined time series over the past decade indicate that $NO_2$ 1evels over China are rapidly increasing while those over Europe are decreasing. We also discussed potential application of spaceborne instruments in detecting and characterizing long-distance transport of $NO_2$.

The statistical tools such as empirical orthogonal function (EOF), and singular value decomposition (SVD) have been applied to analyze the characteristic of air pollutant over southeast Asia as well as to evaluate Zimeke's tropospheric column ozone (ZTO) determined by tropospheric residual method. In this study, we found that the EOF and SVD analyses are useful methods to extract the most significant temporal and spatial pattern from enormous amounts of satellite data. The EOF analyses with OMI $NO_2$ and OMI HCHO over southeast Asia revealed that the spatial pattern showed high correlation with fire count (r=0.8) and the EOF analysis of CO (r=0.7). This suggests that biomass burning influences a major seasonal variability on $NO_2$ and HCHO over this region. The EOF analysis of ZTO has indicated that the location of maximum ZTO was considerably shifted westward from the location of maximum of fire count and maximum month of ZTO occurred a month later than maximum month (March) of $NO_2$, HCHO and CO. For further analyses, we have performed the SVD analyses between ZTO and ozone precursor to examine their correlation and to check temporal and spatial consistency between two variables. The spatial pattern of ZTO showed latitudinal gradient that could result from latitudinal gradient of stratospheric ozone and temporal maximum of ZTO in March appears to be associated with stratospheric ozone variability that shows maximum in March. These results suggest that there are some sources of error in the tropospheric residual method associated with cloud height error, low efficiency of tropospheric ozone, and low accuracy in lower stratospheric ozone.

본 연구에서는 대류권 오존과 전구체인 nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs)의 광화학반응 관계를 살펴보고자, Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI)와 TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument(TROPOMI)의 nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), formaldehyde (HCHO), OMI/Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) tropospheric column ozone (TCO), Airkorea 지상측정 ozone (O₃) 자료를 분석하였다. OMI 위성자료를 이용하여 2006년부터 2020년까지 장기 변화 경향을 살펴보면 TCO는 동북아시아 지역 전체적으로 증가하는 추세를 보였으며, NO₂는 꾸준히 감소하고 HCHO는 계속해서 증가하는 경향성을 보였다. 또한 오존 민감도의 지표인 formaldehyde nitrogen dioxide ratio (FNR)은 점점 증가하고 있으며, 이는 VOC-limited 영역이 감소하고 있음을 의미한다. 본 연구는 한국 지역 오존의 지속적인 증가 원인을 밝히기 위해서 최근 4년 기간(2019~2022년)의 TROPOMI FNR과 지상 측정 O₃를 이용하여 국내 오존 생성 민감도 분석을 진행하였다. 기존 선행연구들과 동일하게 국내 대도시 지역에서 VOC-limited 및 Transitional 영역이 나타났으며, 그 외에도 국내 주요 발전소가 위치한 지역에서 VOC-limited 영역이 나타났다. VOC-limited 영역, 즉 NOx가 과도하게 포화되어 있는 영역에서는 NOx 배출 감소가 오히려 적정 반응을 약화시켜 국내 오존 농도 증가를 유도했을 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 VOC-limited 영역이 나타나는 지역에서 오존 농도를 감소시키기 위해서는 NOx의 배출보다 단기적으로 VOC 배출을 감소시켜야 함을 시사한다.

Although the positioning accuracy of the Global Positioning System (GPS) has been studied extensively and used widely, it is still limited due to errors from sources such as the ionospheric effect, orbital uncertainty, antenna phase center variation, signal multipath and tropospheric influence. This investigation addresses the tropospheric effect on GPS height determination. Data obtained from GPS receivers and co-located surface meteorological instruments in 2003 are adopted in this study. The Ministry of the Interior (MOl), Taiwan, established these GPS receivers as continuous operating reference stations. Two different approaches, parameter estimation and external correction, are utilized to correct the zenith tropospheric delay (ZTD) by applying the surface meteorological measurements (SMM) data. Yet, incorrect pressure measurement leads to very poor accuracy. The GPS height can be affected by a few meters, and the root-mean-square (rms) of the daily solution ranges from a few millimeters to centimeters, no matter what the approach adopted. The effect is least obvious when using SMM data for the parameter estimation approach, but the constant corrections of the GPS height occur more often at higher altitudes. As for the external correction approach, the Saastamoinen model with SMM data makes the repeatability of the GPS height maintained at few centimeters, while the rms of the daily solution displays an improvement of about 2-3 mm.

The tropospheric ozone production mechanism for the gas phase additive oxidation reaction of hydroxyl radical (OH) with isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) has been studied using cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) at total pressure of 50 Torr and 298 K. The applicability of CRDS was confirmed by monitoring the shorter (~4%) ringdown time in the presence of hydroxyl radical than the ring-down time without the photolysis of hydrogen peroxide. The reaction rate constant, $(9.8{\pm}0.1){\times}10^{-11}molecule^{-1}cm^3s^{-1}$, for the addition of OH to isoprene is in good agreement with previous studies. In the presence of $O_2$ and NO, hydroxyl radical cycling has been monitored and the simulation using the recommended elementary reaction rate constants as the basis to OH cycling curve gives reasonable fit to the data.

HO$_2$ radical plays pivotal roles in the tropospheric $O_3$ formation chemistry. This radical oxidizes NO to NO$_2$ and thus HO$_2$ radical can lead to in-situ ozone formation. Numerous methods have been tried to measure concentrations of atmospheric HO$_2$ in gas phase. Detecting methods applied in the air are a chemical amplifier (Cantrell et al., 1996), FAGE (Fluorescence Assay with Gas Expansion) (Hard et al., 1984), and LIF (Laser-induced Fluorescence) (Stevens et al., 1994). These methods have been limited because of low sensitivity and interferences such as $O_3$, NO, and itself (Stevens et al.,1994). (omitted)

Natural emissions of NOx from soils were measured at an agricultural corn field during 3 weeks of growing season in summer (from May to June) 1995. This experiment was conducted in an effort to characterize the role of soil NOx on tropospheric ozone formation in rural atmosphere, and understand the natural NOx emission mechanism with respect to soil parameters. NO fluxes were ranged from 3.1 ng Nm$^{-2}s^{-1}$ to 259.0 ng Nm$^{-2}s^{-1}$, and average NO flux during experimental period was found to be 47.6 $\pm$ 50.6 ng Nm$^{-2}s^{-1}$ with 732 number of data. Diurnal variation of NO flux was shown clearly with daytime maximum and nighttime minimum. NO fluxes were correlated with soil temperature. Exponential soil temperature dependency of NO fluxes was found with 0.0160$^{circ}C^{-1} of k and r^2=0.508$, which agrees well to the value estimated at corn fields in eastern United States. The significant increases of NO fluxes from agricultural soil were detected after applying N fertilizers to soil. THe mechanisms attributed to this are enhanced biological nitrification and denitrification. In the view of rural ozone formation, the roles of natural NO emissions are very essential, especially in NOx - limited region such as southern United States.

Total Vertical Column Density (VCD) of $NO_2$, a key component in air quality and tropospheric chemistry was measured using a ground-based instrument, Pandora, in Seoul from March 2012 to October 2013. The $NO_2$ measurements using Pandora were compared with those obtained by satellite remote sensing from Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) where the intercomparison characteristics were analyzed as a function of measurement geometry, cloud amount and aerosol loading. The negative biases of the OMI $NO_2$ VCD were larger when cloud amount and Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) were higher. The correlation coefficient between $NO_2$ VCDs from Pandora and OMI was 0.53 for the entire measurement period, whereas the correlation coefficient between the two was 0.74 when the cloud amount and AOD were low (cloud amount<3, AOD<0.4). The low bias of OMI data was associated with the shielding effect of the cloud and the aerosols.
