Measurement campaigns

As member of the ARES observatory, we conduct measurement campaigns to measure the spatial distribution of air pollutants and greenhouse gases with airborne sensors.

Munich NO2 Imaging Campaign 2016

The Munich NO₂ Imaging Campaign (MuNIC) was a comprehensive study conducted in July 2016 in Munich, Germany, aimed at mapping the spatial distribution of nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) using a combination of in situ and remote sensing instruments. The campaign involved stationary, mobile, and airborne measurements to capture both near-surface concentrations (NSCs) and vertical column densities (VCDs) of NO₂.

The image shows a map of NO2 VCDs from APEX and mobile MAX-DOAS measurements on 7 July 2016 (afternoon). (b, c) Time series of spatially co-located APEX and (b) Mini MAX-DOAS and (c) Tube MAX-DOAS VCDs. (d) Scatter plot showing MAX-DOAS and APEX NO2 VCDs for spatially co-located observations.
