A trend analysis based on observations from GOME, SCIAMACHY, and OMI of the tropospheric NO2 column from 1996 to 2016 in North China Plain is presented. The columnar NO2 showed a rapid increase from 1996 to 2011, especially in Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei. On the contrary, a significant decrease in tropospheric NO2 column was observed in North China Plain from 2012 to 2016 because of the effective control strategies from the twelfth Five-Year Plan. This study aims to investigate the spatial variations in tropospheric NO2 trend from 1996 to 2016 in North China Plain, from which the driving factors of economic development and polices were derived. First, the liner regression analysis method was used among tropospheric NO2 columns from GOME, SCIAMCHY, and OMI. Second, the spatial variations in NO2 trend in North China Plain were investigated using multivariate linear regression. Results showed that NO2 columns in North China Plain increased by 10.3% per year from 1996 to 2011, and then decreased by 8.77% per year from 2012 to 2016 because of the rapid economic development, environmental protection policy, and rainfall. From 1996 to 2011, high NO2 columns were mainly concentrated in Beijing, Tianjin, Tangshan, Baoding, Dezhou, Jinan, Nanjing, Changzhou, and Wuxi, with the value of NO2 columns being larger than 600×1013 molec·/cm2. Low NO2 columns were mainly concentrated in northern Hebei and southwestern Henan provinces, with the value of NO2 columns being less than 200×1013 molec·/cm2. The trend of NO2 columns had an acceptable agreement (0.54) with NO2 concentration in the space, indicating that the increase was mostly distributed in the region with high value. From 2012 to 2016, the high value of NO2 columns spread to southern Hebei, northern Henan, and western Shandong. Generally, the average NO2 column from 2012 to 2016 was considerably higher than that from 1996 to 2011. The trend of NO2 column decreased from 2012 to 2016 over North China Plain probably because of the effective control strategies implemented during the twelfth Five-Year Plan. In addition, tropospheric NO2 column showed a significant reduction during typical events in North China Plain, such as, Beijing Olympics, military parade, and Nanjing Youth Olympic Games. The tropospheric NO2 columns measured by GOME, SCIAMACHY, and OMI could be used to indicate the variations of NOx emissions. Results showed that the increase and decrease trends may be affected by rapid economic development, environmental protection policies, and rainfall.
