Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) is found in the troposphere (the layer of the atmosphere closest to the surface) and in the stratosphere (the layer of the atmosphere that protects us from harmful UV radiation). When we measure NO₂ from space-based instruments, we measure the combined NO₂ in both layers. Separating the stratospheric and tropospheric content is critical to the application and interpretation of these satellite observations. In our latest article that has just been published in Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, we show how this will be possible for a new geostationary satellite instrument called TEMP (anticipated to launch sometime around 2021).
