Short summary

This study quantifies the contribution of hourly nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) variation to annual NO₂ concentrations at > 2500 sites across Europe. Sites with distinct monthly, hour of day, and hourly NO₂ contributions to annual NO₂ were not grouped into specific European regions. Within relatively small areas there were sites with similar annual NO₂ but with differences in these contributions. Therefore, measures implemented to reduce annual NO₂ in one location may not be as effective in others.
