Abstract The vertical column concentrations and vertical profiles of nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) were retrieved based on observations from a multi-axis differential absorption spectrometer (MAX-DOAS) in the northern suburb of Nanjing from May 2018 to December 2020. The spatial and temporal characteristics of tropospheric NO₂ were analyzed and compared with the latest TROPOMI (Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument) NO₂ products. The results of MAX-DOAS show that NO₂ concentration in the northern suburb of Nanjing was influenced by air temperature and solar radiation with low values in summer and high values in winter as well as low values in midday and high values in the morning and evening. And the pollutant mainly came from the southeast direction. The correlation coefficient between TROPOMI data and MAX-DOAS observations was larger than 0.7 in spring, autumn and winter, but only 0.54 in summer, due to the influences of cloudiness and low NO₂ concentration in this season. In addition, TROPOMI captured major pollution hotspots in Nanjing urban area and the Yangtze River Delta, which was consistent with the high pollution sector indicated by the MAX-DOAS observations. Meanwhile, both the MAX-DOAS and TROPOMI recorded a more than 50% reduction in NO₂ concentration during 16~30 days after the Chinese New Year in 2020 due to the COVID-19 close-down as compared with that in 2019 and 2021, indicating that NO₂ pollution at the observation sites was mainly resulted from human activities.
