| Research Abstract |
Atmospheric aerosol and NO_2 variations at Okinawa Island in Japan were investigated using Multi-Axis Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) measurements, focusing primarily on transboundary air pollution from China. The results showed that NO_2 enhancement at Okinawa during northern winter-spring was controlled by rapid air mass transport from China. A new cloud-screening method using MAX-DOAS data based on the physical properties of clouds was developed to evaluate aerosol variations. Comparison with satellite measurements as well as ground based measurements were also performed.
