Concurrent measurement and analysis of Nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 )and Ozone (O 3 ) are essential for improved understanding of ozone distribution. This study sought to analyse the temporal evolution of total column NO 2 and O 3 over Nairobi using satellite-derived daily data between 2009 and 2013. Seasonality is observed in O 3 distribution with minimum and maximum occurring during the dry and wet seasons, respectively. Additionally, a lag of about a month or two occurs between the onset of a season and corresponding minimum or maximum NO 2 and O 3 concentration. The established association between monthly NO 2 and O 3 is such that, above average concentration of NO 2 is likely to lead to above average levels of O 3 during the same month (r=0.79) and below average levels about 5 months later (r=0.39).  The Quasi Biennial Oscillation (QBO) is the main phenomenon behind the oscillating biennial feature exhibited by NO 2 and O 3 interannual trend. The study shows that NO 2 and O 3 are increasing at annual average rates of about 0.27% and 0.46% per year compared to mean values, respectively. Daily variation of both NO 2 and O 3 depicts stagnating trends over the entire period of study. This difference is attributed to the fact that, whereas daily NO 2 and O 3 are influenced by mechanisms that control the slow shift between the dry and wet periods within the course of a year, interannual variability is driven by the differences in each year’s general weather conditions.
