  • There is a 325m meteorological tower in Beijing, where IAP performs in-situ measurements (O3, NO2, SO2).
  • Peng Zhang has access to in-situ measurements of NO2 in Beijing, and in-situ measurements at regional background stations (LinAn, ShangDianZi and LongFengShan). In the future, another 3 stations (Urumqi, Lijiang, Jinsha) will be added to this.
  • Pucai Wang has access to measurements (lidar, soundings, in-situ) in Beijing and Xinglong.
  • N. Krotkov (NASA) will organize a campaign in China on validating SO2 from OMI.
