reduction of Sulfur dioxide pollution
Aura OMI observes reduction of Sulfur dioxide pollution over China
Chinese sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission controls were given a major strengthening in the 11th Five-Year-Plan.

Air Quality Changes Resulting from Emission Regulations
Regulations have resulted in reduced NOx emissions from major point sources over much of the Eastern US as shown by OMI's Continuous Emission Monitoring System data.

HIRDLS Cloud Extinction
HIRDLS Cloud Extinction
High thin clouds are difficult to detect from space. The first comprehensive climatology of thin clouds has been developed with the HIRDLS limb viewing infrared radiometer.
OMI Observes Impact from the Gulf Hurricanes
OMI Observes Impact from the Gulf Hurricanes
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita caused a significant reduction in nitrogen dioxide emissions.
Nitrogen dioxide in California
Nitrogen Dioxide Observations in California
Aggressive air quality regulations of emission reductions show results in Aura's OMI imagery.
Sarychev Peak eruption
Sarychev Peak Eruption
The eruption of Sarychev Peak (Kurile Islands) in mid-June 2009 produced a large stratospheric sulfur dioxide cloud that spread rapidly eastward in strong jet stream winds.
