Total nitrogen dioxide at the Arctic Polar Circle since 1990
International audience Daily ground-based NO2 column measurements have been conducted with UV-visible SAOZ diode-array spectrometers at Sodankyla in northern Finland since January 1990 and at 3 additional stations during EASOE. Inspection of the data indicates: a total NO2 reduction by 30% by the Pi...
