Figure 1

Changes in SO2 loading over India and China between 2005 and 2016. (a) Average SO2 vertical column amounts over India and China for 2005 from the OMI instrument on the Aura satellite, expressed in Dobson Units (1 DU = 2.69 × 1016 molecules cm−2). (b) Same as (a) but for 2016, showing significant increase and decrease of SO2 over India and China, respectively, during the 12-year span. The maps in the figure were generated by Chris McLinden using Matlab (version 2016a; https://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab.html).
