Berkeley High Resolution (BEHR) OMI NO2 v3.0C - Native pixels, daily profiles

The BEHR reprocesses tropospheric NO2 columns from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) satellite using high resolution a priori NO2 profiles, surface reflectivity, and surface elevation data. This product uses NO2 profiles for the day retrieved, simulated by the WRF-Chem model at 12 km spatial resolution. The use of high spatial resolution NO2 profiles has been shown to better resolve urban/rural differences in NO2 column densities, and the use of day-to-day (rather than monthly average) profiles is especially important in applications that preferentially select observations upwind or downwind of a NOx source.

The BEHR OMI NO2 v3.0C product is an experimental branch of BEHR v3.0B (10.6078/D1WH41, 10.6078/D12D5X, 10.6078/D1RQ3G, 10.6078/D1N086).  The time range covers May 13-June 23, 2012 and August 1-September 23, 2013.
