Preliminary results on the integral nitrogen dioxide content in the atmospheric boundary layer measured at the territory of the meteorological station of M.V.Lomonosov Moscow State University is presented. A new method for the estimation of the integral NO2 content in the boundary layer of the atmosphere by a combination of spectral measurements incoming from the zenith scattered solar radiation in the daytime and in the twilight period is described shortly. Nitrogen dioxide contents have significant time variation from background value (5*1014 mol/cm2) to high value 4*1017 mol/cm2
Keywords: nitrogen dioxide, zenith scattering observations, boundary layer, monitoring, urban areas
