Short summary

We present a detailed comparison of NO_x emissions from the Dutch national emission inventory with completely independent emission data derived from satellite observations with the DECSO algorithm. We find good agreement in overall emission levels, regional emissions, and the 5-year emission trend. Our results demonstrate the robustness of the national inventory and the satellite-derived emissions and might serve as a use-case for the adoption of similar methods in other countries.
