The study shows a decrease in nitrogen dioxide linked to COVID-19 in transportation, indicating significant air quality changes.

The aim is to create a continuous dataset of global nitrogen dioxide concentrations from 2005 to 2023.
Constructed a daily NO2 concentration dataset at 0.1° resolution using the Air Transformer deep learning framework.
Integrated satellite observations, ground-based measurements, and meteorological reanalysis data.
Analyzed spatiotemporal evolution of global NO2 concentrations over two decades.
Global annual mean NO2 increased from 2005 to 2015, then declined moderately from 2016-2019.
NO2 levels sharply decreased in 2020 due to COVID-19, followed by a partial rebound.
The Northern Hemisphere and tropical regions showed trends in line with global data, while the Southern Hemisphere had distinct patterns.

Mu et al. (2026) studied this question.
