The growth of industrial production in some regions of the world and the widespread extension of transport and logistics systems are accompanied by permanent pollution of the atmosphere as a result of the emission of various gas impurities, including nitrogen oxides. The considerable volume of satellite observations accumulated to date allows us to estimate the long-term changes in the concentration of nitrogen dioxide on a global scale, as well as to identify the geographical location of its sources. To estimate the spatial and temporal variability of the NO2 content, long-term measurement data from an OMI spectrometer located on the Aura satellite is used. An example of the average annual distribution of NO2 in the troposphere of the eastern hemisphere, demonstrating the largest zones of anthropogenic pollution, is given. On the territory of Russia, there is a lengthy plume of pollution that extends from the western borders of the country to the eastern borders of Krasnoyarsk Kray covering most of Western Siberia. The results of the analysis of the nitrogen dioxide content in the troposphere of Western Siberia from 2005 to 2016 are presented. It is shown that the spatial distribution of gas concentration in the air basin of the region is of latitudinal nature with a decrease in values in the south-east and north directions. The lowest NO2 content is in hard-to-reach, as well as in the least populated and developed areas of the region such as Yamalo-Nenets and Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Districts and Altai Republic. Federal highways, large cities and industrial centers form zones of increased air pollution. While using long-term changes of nitrogen dioxide concentration, the estimates of its linear trends are obtained and the features of its seasonal variability are determined.
Keywords: nitrogen dioxide, OMI spectrometer, troposphere, spatio-temporal variability, Western Siberia
