Short summary

We determine NO_x emissions for Paris in summer 2009 and winter 2009/2010 by combining car MAX-DOAS measurements of NO₂ with wind fields. We compare the results with simulations from the CHIMERE model. We derive daily average NO_x emissions for Paris of 4.0 × 10²⁵ molecules s⁻¹ for summer and of 6.9 × 10²⁵ molecules s⁻¹ in winter. These values are a factor of about 1.4 and 2.0 larger than the corresponding emissions in the MACC-III emission inventory.
