Short summary
We used satellite and ground observations to study changes in nitrogen dioxide transport over the Tibetan Plateau during the past two decades. The results show that near-surface pollution has decreased, while atmospheric NO₂ column signals have increased. The Tibetan Plateau may play a certain role as a transit region in regional pollution transport, suggesting that its influence on surrounding air quality and environmental changes deserves more attention.
