Ozone Control Strategies Require Independent
Information on Effectiveness of Reducing NOx or
VOCs
HCHO/NOy Ratio Used as Indicator Would like to
Observe from Space

NOx-Saturated
NOx-Sensitive
Sillman and He, 2002
3
Conduct Three Simulations With GEOS-CHEM Model
  • Base Case
  • Reduce Anthropogenic NOx Emissions by 50
  • Reduce Anthropogenic VOC Emissions by 50

Tropospheric HCHO/NO2 Column Ratio Is an
Indicator of the Sensitivity of Afternoon Surface
Ozone to NOx and VOC Emissions in a Well-mixed
EnvironmentGEOS-CHEM Model Calculation For
Polluted Regions, Mar-Nov

Tropospheric NO2 and HCHO Columns Largely
Confined Near the SurfaceAlso Closely Related to

GOME Observations Show NOx-Sensitive Conditions
Over Most Polluted Regions During AugustMajor
Industrial Areas are Clear Exceptions
White areas indicate clouds or data below the
GOME detection limit

Biomass Burning Emissions are Clearly
NOx-Sensitive, In Contrast with NOx-Saturated
Conditions Over the Industrial Highveld
Also observe plume evolution

Seasonal Evolution from NOx-Sensitive to
NOx-Saturated Conditions in Fall
10
GOME Observations Provide Confidence in a Recent
Model Prediction NOx-Sensitive in the South and
NOx-Saturated in the North in Fall
Seasonal Maximum in Surface Ozone in Urban China
Occurs in Fall (More High-Pressure Systems)

Conclusions
  • Satellite Observations of the Tropospheric
    HCHO/NO2 Column Indicate Ozone-NOx-VOC
    Sensitivity
  • Errors in Ratio Less Than for Individual Species
  • Sensitive Tool for Ozone Model Evaluation
  • OMI Will Be Launched in June
  • 40 Times Higher Spatial Resolution
  • Less sub-grid scale variation
  • Afternoon observation time
