We show that reductions in associated emissions of NOx were detected by the Dutch-Finnish Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) aboard the Aura satellite. Interpretation of these data using a 3-dimensional chemical transport model indicates that emissions of NOx were reduced by 40\% over the period of November 4 to 6, 2006, for which the restrictions were in place.}, url = {https://dash.harvard.edu/handle/1/28344268}, author = {Wang, Yuxuan and McElroy, Michael B. and Boersma, K.
