We present the results of comparison between Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) data of NO2 measurements (Collection 3) onboard the NASA EOS-Aura satellite and correlative ground-based twilight measurements at Zvenigorod station in Russia in 2004-2008. Compared quantities are unpolluted column and tropospheric column amounts of NO2 which are standard products of OMI measurements. The NO2 columns observed by our ground-based instrument have been interpolated to the time of OMI measurements using a one-dimensional photochemical model. According to our comparison, the OMI unpolluted NO2 columns underestimate ground-based measurements by (0.084 +/- 0.025) x 10(15) molecules/cm(2), or (3.2 +/- 0.9)%. The correlation coefficient between the OMI and ground-based unpolluted NO2 columns is 0.92. The tropospheric NO2 columns derived from OMI measurements are on average by (1.8 +/- 0.5) x 10(15) cm(-2), or approximately 40%, less than those derived from ground-based measurements. The correlation coefficient between these data is about 0.3. Reasons for this discrepancy are discussed.
