Short summary
Air pollution management requires accurate determination of emissions and emission ratios of air pollutants. In this paper, we explore a new way to resolve excess mixing ratios in turbulent plumes, which allows aggregation of unbiased ensemble averages of air pollutant ratios that can be compared with emission models. The approach is tested in an urban environment and used to resolve emission patterns of nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide.
