Short summary

This paper evaluates Sentinel-5P TROPOMI v1.2 NO₂ tropospheric columns over New York City using data from airborne mapping spectrometers and a network of ground-based spectrometers (Pandora) collected in 2018. These evaluations consider impacts due to cloud parameters, a priori profile assumptions, and spatial and temporal variability. Overall, TROPOMI tropospheric NO₂ columns appear to have a low bias in this region.
