Research Abstract

The MAX-DOAS-measured scattered sunlight spectrum data were analyzed by the newly-developed inversion method for SO2.It was suggested that in Japan and China the free-tropospheric SO2 concentration was usually lower than 1 ppbv and the annual-mean PBL SO2 concentration could reach 3 ppbv at an urban site. In March 2011, an influence of trans-boundary SO2 pollution from China on Okinawa was suggested. Combined analysis with satellite data suggested that their precision is about 0.5-1.0 DU. Considering the precision, the maximum column concentration of about 2 DU in East Asia was found around the central eastern China.
