Abstract The Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) aboard the Aura satellite produces daily global observations of NO2tropospheric column abundance at a resolution of 13-24 km2(nadir) using a differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) algorithm (Levelt et al., 2006). We obtained the average tropospheric NO2 columns over Australia for each month from 2005-2016. We then produced estimates of ground-level NO2 by using the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF-Chem) to predict monthly surface-to-column ratios. This approach is a standard method to convert tropospheric column NO2 abundance (in molecules per cm2) to ground-level NO2 concentration (in ppb), and has been described extensively (Lamsal et al., 2008; Bechle et al., 2013). Detailed information on satellite data retrieval and processing is given in the supplement to Knibbs et al. 2014 (pages S3–S9). This is the data used by Knibbs et al. 2014, with additional years downloaded. Knibbs et al. 2014 cited it as Aura OMI level-3 NO2 product via NASA Giovani interface Acker & Leptoukh (2007).
