Fig. 1 - S5P TROPOMI (2019.05.07->16) - Tropospheric NO2 with colour map, 10-days mean - NO2 level decreses with altitude.
3D view
The Alps wrap around industrial northern Italy, preventing NOx to scatter. Similarly, NO2 also concentrates in the Rhine and the Rhone valley.
Fig. 2 - Total Column CO with colour map, 10-days mean - CO level is rather homogeneous onshore but drops over mountain ranges.
3D view
Fig. 3 - Cloud fraction with colour map,10-days mean - Clouds accumulate over mountains owing to orographic lift.
3D view
Fig. 4 - Aerosol Index with colour map, 10-days mean - These cloud droplets contribute to the aerosol index which increases over summits.
