The Middle East faces important challenges from severe air pollution, marked by natural factors from frequent dust storms and human-induced emissions, notably SO₂ from power and desalination plants. These emissions significantly degrade air quality and contribute to sulfate aerosol formation, impacting climate and cloud formation. Accurate SO₂ emissions representation in this challenging environment is crucial. We aim to enhance the current SO₂ emission inventory by integrating satellite SO₂ observations and the FLEXPART-WRF model, driven by meteorological data from the WRF 10km resolution model run in 2016. In particular, we adapted the WRF-Chem’s code for simulating the major SO₂ sinks (in cloud scavenging, dry and wet deposition, SO₂ oxidation by OH and H₂O₂) into the FLEXPART-WRF model. It allowed us to exclude the “background” SO₂ column loadings caused by the spatially distributed emissions and to invert the SO₂ emissions from the strong point sources on a daily basis. The improved SO₂ emission inventory is open to the community.
