Short summary
Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) is a major air pollutant with strong spatial variability near urban sources. We use a regional chemical transport model to simulate NO₂ levels over Bucharest and compare the results with in situ, aircraft, and satellite measurements. We find that emissions of nitrogen oxides are likely underestimated and that the accuracy of the satellite instrument varies with pollution levels. Our results improve the interpretation of satellite data for air quality monitoring.
