Short summary
The Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS) provides hourly measurements of tropospheric NO2 during sunlight hours. We assess the added value of GEMS geostationary satellite observations of tropospheric NO2 to constrain monthly NOx emissions and subsequent air quality modelling over a full annual cycle across Asia. We observe a clear seasonal divide, with significant benefits outside summer while limited or even detrimental impacts during summer.
