Lightning Source of Nitrogen Oxides (NO x ) Inferred From Geostationary Satellites: Global Implications for Oxidant Chemistry

Abstract Lightning is a major source of nitrogen oxide radicals (NO x ≡ NO + NO 2 ), but large uncertainties in NO x yields per flash hinder accurate quantification of emissions and impacts on oxidant chemistry. We use 1 year of concurrent geostationary satellite observations of...
