Monitoring of atmospheric trace gases is of importance to observe trends and to confirm the success of measures taken to reduce air pollution. The extension of ground-based monitoring networks with satellite observations will be an important step to exploit the new technologies in order to reach this aim. After an introduction of the Swiss National Air Pollution Monitoring Network (NABEL), an overview over the activities at EMPA within the framework of ESA DUP (Data User Programme) projects is given. Within the DUP-POLPO project (POLlution hot spot monitoring from GOME applied to the PO-basin), a feasibility study employing satellite derived nitrogen dioxide (NO2) data for monitoring large pollution plumes has been carried out. Similar applications are expected with recently launched satellite instruments, as the SCanning Imaging Absorption SpectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY (SCIAMACHY) recording a wide range of species.
