. This study evaluates NO 2 vertical tropospheric column densities (VTCs) retrieved from measurements of the Scanning Imaging Absorption Spectrometer for Atmospheric Chartography (SCIAMACHY) above Switzerland and the Alpine region. The close correlation between pixel averaged NO x emission rates from a spatially and temporally highly resolved inventory and the NO 2 VTCs under anticyclonic meteorological conditions demonstrates the general ability of SCIAMACHY to detect sources of NO x pollution in Switzerland. This correlation is further used to infer seasonal mean NO x lifetimes carefully taking into account the influence of the strong diurnal cycle in NO x emissions on these estimates. Lifetimes are estimated to 3.6 ( ± 0.8) hours in summer previous A comparison between the NO 2 VTC distribution over Switzerland and the from the Global Monitoring Experiment capability of SCIAMACHY to regional scale pollution features. the comparison of seasonal over the Swiss Plateau with GOME and ground based in situ a satellite pixel surface from a coarse resolution global in Alpine region model assumed (SCD trop ) from the subtraction of the stratospheric estimate
