英文摘要	Nitrogen oxide (NOx) production by lightning in the tropics is estimated using tropospheric NOx amounts (LNOx) over deep convective grid boxes derived from Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) nitrogen dioxide (NO2) slant columns and detection-efficiency-adjusted World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN) flashes. The lightning NOx production efficiency (LNOx PE) in the tropics is determined for the austral and boreal summers of 2007 to 2011 by regressing regional mean daily values of LNOx for individual seasons against daily flash totals during flash windows prior to the OMI overpass. LNOx PE is determined to be approximately two times larger over marine locations than over continental locations possibly because marine flashes are more energetic. Overall, the mean LNOx PE for the tropics is calculated to be 170 +/- 100 mol per flash with values over the tropical Pacific (low flash rate region) being largest. The main contributors to uncertainties in PE are uncertainties in WWLLN flash detection efficiency, upper tropospheric NOx lifetime in the near field of convection, and air mass factor biases.
