Retrieval of NO2 profiles from 3 years of Pandora MAX-DOAS measurements in Toronto, Canada
The purpose of this work is to derive new nitrogen dioxide (NO2) vertical profiling data products from Pandora spectrometers and investigate the factors contributing to the bias of this dataset relative to established ground-based and spaceborne datasets.

| 520 | |a The purpose of this work is to derive new nitrogen dioxide (NO2) vertical profiling data products from Pandora spectrometers and investigate the factors contributing to the bias of this dataset relative to established ground-based and spaceborne datasets. Possible applications of the NO2 vertical profile dataset include air quality monitoring and satellite validation studies. We explore the application of the optimal estimation method to Pandora multi-axis differential optical absorption spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) measurements to retrieve vertical profile information for NO2. We use the Heidelberg Profile (HeiPro) retrieval algorithm to derive, for the first time, NO2 profiles and partial columns (0-4 km) from Pandora MAX-DOAS measurements from 2018-2020 from Downsview, a suburban neighbourhood in the northern end of Toronto, Canada, that is subject to local traffic emissions and urban influences. Validation of the new dataset was done via comparison with official Pandora direct-Sun measurements, in situ observations, satellite data, and an air quality forecasting model. We find that, for tropospheric partial column comparisons, the HeiPro dataset has a positive mean relative bias to Pandora direct-Sun (61 ± 9.7 %) and TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI; 37 ± 51 %) observations, as well as the Global Environmental Multiscale-Modelling Air quality and Chemistry (GEM-MACH) model output (67 ± 7.1 %), with similar seasonal and diurnal cycles in the bias with Pandora direct-Sun and GEM-MACH data. Contributing factors to the large bias of HeiPro-to-Pandora direct-Sun measurements were investigated, and NO2 heterogeneity, combined with differences between direct-Sun and multi-axis viewing geometries, was found to contribute a maximum of 52 % of the total relative bias during morning measurement times. For surface NO2 comparisons, we find that HeiPro measurements capture the magnitude and diurnal variability in surface NO2 reasonably well (mean relative bias to in situ surface NO2 of −9.7 ± 7.5 %) but are biased low compared to GEM-MACH (mean relative bias of −37 ± 2.4 %). Compared to HeiPro, the GEM-MACH model profiles are biased high in the lower boundary layer and biased low in the free troposphere. | ||
