Urban and Power Plant NOx Emissions in Sub‐Saharan Africa Inferred From TROPOMI
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.Abstract Nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions are increasing rapidly in Sub‐Saharan Africa, affecting local air quality. Outside South Africa, most hotspots are relatively small, posing a challenge for traditional top‐down inversions. We tailor an existing top‐down wind rotation and Gaussian plume fit inversion to suit the relatively small NOx hotspots for ...
