PG - 55-64 LID - S0269-7491(17)33738-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.envpol.2017.09.017 [doi] AB - Data from an in situ monitoring network and five ozone sondes are analysed during August of 2012, and a high tropospheric ozone episode is observed around the 8th of AUG. The Community Multi-scale Air Quality (CMAQ) model and its process analysis tool were used to study factors and mechanisms for high ozone mixing ratio at different levels of ozone vertical profiles. A sensitive scenario without chemical initial and boundary conditions (ICBCs) from MOZART4-GEOS5 was applied to study the impact of stratosphere-troposphere exchange (STE) on vertical ozone. The simulation results indicated that the first high ozone peak near the tropopause was dominated by STE. Results from process analysis showed that: in the urban area, the second peak at approximately 2 km above ground height was mainly caused by local photochemical production. The third peak (near surface) was mainly caused by the upwind transportation from the suburban/rural areas; in the suburban/rural areas, local photochemical production of ozone dominated the high ozone mixing ratio from the surface to approximately 3 km height. Furthermore, the capability of indicators to distinguish O(3)-precursor sensitivity along the vertical O(3) profiles was investigated. Two sensitive scenarios, which had cut 30% anthropogenic NO(X) or VOC emissions, showed that O(3)-precursor indicators, specifically the ratios of O(3)/NOy, H(2)O(2)/HNO(3) or H(2)O(2)/NO(Z), could partly distinguish the O(3)-precursor sensitivity between VOCs-sensitive and NOx-sensitive along the vertical profiles. In urban area, the O(3)-precursor relationship transferred from VOCs-sensitive within the boundary layer to NOx-sensitive at approximately 1-3 km above ground height, further confirming the dominant roles of transportation and photochemical production in high O(3) peaks at the near-ground layer and 2 km above ground height, respectively.
