Surface NOx emissions are estimated by a combined assimilation of satellite observations of NO2, CO, O3, and HNO3 with a global chemical transport model. The assimilation of measurements for species other than NO2 provides additional constraints on the NOx emissions by adjusting the concentrations of the species affecting the NOx chemistry and leads to changes in the regional monthly‐mean emissions of −58 to +32% and the annual total emissions of −16 to +3%. These large changes highlight that uncertainties in the model chemistry impact the quality of the emission estimates. In the inversion from NO2 observations only, NOx analysis increments occur closer to the surface. Because of the shorter residence time, larger emissions increments are required compared to the multiple species assimilation. Validation against independent observations and comparisons with the recent Regional Emission inventory in Asia version 2.1 emissions shows that the multiple species assimilation improves the chemical consistency including the relation between concentrations and the estimated emissions.
