Abstract：Nitrous oxide (N2O) has been ranked as the third largest greenhouse gas in the world, and its pollution and treatment are becoming the focus of ecological and environmental protection in China's "14 th Five-Year Plan". Climate change assessment and environmental protection generate a high-standard demand for satellite remotely sensed N2O monitoring. This article reviews the major advances in N2O satellite remote sensing and presents the historical process of N2O satellite observations from the perspective of nadir, limb, and occultation. The inversion algorithm, the optimal estimation algorithm, onion peeling algorithm, and differential optical absorption spectroscopy are discussed according to the observation methods. Compared with the international N2O satellite remote sensing which started earlier and had more mature theories and technologies, China's N2O satellite remotely sensed monitoring capability still has a large room to be explored. By summarizing the status of the research, this article presents the development trend of remote sensing and proposals for N2O satellite remote sensing, and finally provide the prospect of future development.
