abstract = {This study provides a comprehensive assessment of NO2
changes across the main European urban areas induced by
COVID-19 lockdowns using satellite retrievals from the
Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) onboard the
Sentinel-5p satellite, surface site measurements, and
simulations from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring
Service (CAMS) regional ensemble of air quality models. Some
recent TROPOMI-based estimates of changes in atmospheric NO2
concentrations have neglected the influence of weather
variability between the reference and lockdown periods. Here
we provide weather-normalized estimates based on a machine
learning method (gradient boosting) along with an assessment
of the biases that can be expected from methods that omit
the influence of weather. We also compare the
weather-normalized satellite-estimated NO2 column changes
with weather-normalized surface NO2 concentration changes
and the CAMS regional ensemble, composed of 11 models, using
recently published estimates of emission reductions induced
by the lockdown. All estimates show similar NO2 reductions.
Locations where the lockdown measures were stricter show
stronger reductions, and, conversely, locations where softer
measures were implemented show milder reductions in NO2
pollution levels. Average reduction estimates based on
either satellite observations $(−23 \%),$ surface
stations $(−43 \%),$ or models $(−32 \%)$ are
presented, showing the importance of vertical sampling but
also the horizontal representativeness. Surface station
estimates are significantly changed when sampled to the
TROPOMI overpasses $(−37 \%),$ pointing out the
importance of the variability in time of such estimates.
Observation-based machine learning estimates show a stronger
temporal variability than model-based estimates.},
