Short summary

Agricultural production has greatly increased emissions of ammonia (NH₃) to the atmosphere. Sparse measurements of surface NH₃ concentrations make it challenging and difficult to understand the global distribution of surface NH₃ concentrations in both time and space. Estimating surface NH₃ concentrations is critically important for modeling the dry deposition of NH₃, which has important impacts on the natural environment. This paper provides the satellite-based global assessment of surface NH₃.
