We present airborne DOAS tomography measurements of two-dimensional concentration cross-sections of a plume from a point source. The measurements were performed with the AMAXDOAS (Airborne Multi-AXis Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy) instrument. The NO2 slant column densities form ten different viewing direction are observed simultaneously.
As part of the second campaign of the European FORMAT project (FORMAldehyde as a tracer of photo oxidation in the Troposphere) in August / September 2003, the instrument was installed on board a small aeroplane. Three over flights were performed across the emission plume of the power plant in Sermide on the bank of the Po river.
We present a novel technique to use two dimensional weighting matrices from atmospheric radiative transfer simulations for 2D tomographic reconstructions. The NOx emissions of 4−5 · 1024 molec/s derived by the reconstruction are compared to the information provided by the power plant company.
