![]() | OMI sees BrO enhancements over the North Pole OMI, with its wide swath, is the only instrument that can detect Bromine Monoxide (BrO) at the pole on every orbit. Here, stratospheric BrO has been carefully separated from the total column to produce estimates of the tropospheric BrO column. |

Direct observations of megacity emissions and lifetimes of nitrogen oxides using OMI Emission inventories in megacities are uncertain, particularly in developing countries. Can we use OMI to better quantify these emissions without a model? |
![]() | Decrease in SO2 over the Eastern US OMI data confirm a substantial reduction in sulfur dioxide (SO2 ) values around the largest US coal power plants as a result of the implementation of pollution control measures. |
