Short summary
We used satellite measurements of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) to estimate top-down nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from power plants in Europe and the United States. Our study shows that these observations can track seasonal and short-term changes in emissions and agree well with bottom-up estimates. This approach offers a promising way to monitor NOx and indirectly carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, supporting anthropogenic emissions monitoring systems.
