摘要
Ozone (O-3) concentrations in the lower troposphere (LT) over Beijing have significantly increased over the past 2 decades as a result of rapid industrialization in China, with important implications for regional air quality and the photochemistry of the background troposphere. We characterize the vertical distribution of lower-tropospheric (0-6 km) O-3 over Beijing using observations from 16 ozonesonde soundings during a field campaign in April-May 2005 and MOZAIC (Measurement of Ozone and Water Vapor by Airbus In-Service Aircraft) over 13 days in the same period. We focus on the origin of LT O-3 enhancements observed over Beijing, particularly in May. We use a global 3-D chemistry and transport model (GEOS-Chem CTM; GEOS - Goddard Earth Observing System) driven by assimilated meteorological fields to examine the transport pathways for O-3 pollution and to quantify the sources contributing to O-3 and its enhancements in the springtime LT over Beijing. Out-put from the Global Modeling Initiative (GMI) CTM is also used. High O-3 concentrations (up to 94.7 ppbv) were frequently observed at the altitude of similar to 1.5-2 km. The CTMs captured the timing of the occurrences but significantly underestimated their magnitude. GEOS-Chem simulations and a case study showed that O-3 produced in the Asian troposphere (especially from Asian anthropogenic pollution) made major contributions to the observed O-3 enhancements. Contributions from anthropogenic pollution in the European and North American troposphere were reduced during these events, in contrast with days without O-3 enhancements when contributions from Europe and North America were substantial. The O-3 enhancements typically occurred under southerly wind and warmer conditions. It is suggested that an earlier onset of the Asian summer monsoon would cause more O-3 enhancement events in the LT over the North China Plain in late spring and early summer.
