Title: | Surface O₃ photochemistry over the South China Sea : application of a near-explicit chemical mechanism box model | Authors: | Wang, Y Guo, H Zou, S Lyu, X Ling, Z Cheng, H Zeren, Y |
Issue Date: | Mar-2018 | Source: | Environmental pollution, Mar. 2018, v. 234, p. 155-166 | Abstract: | A systematic field measurement was conducted at an island site (Wanshan Island, WSI) over the South China Sea (SCS) in autumn 2013. It was observed that mixing ratios of O₃ and its precursors (such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), nitrogen oxides (NOx = NO + NO2) and carbon monoxide (CO)) showed significant differences on non-episode days and episode days. Additional knowledge was gained when a photochemical box model incorporating the Master Chemical Mechanism (PBM-MCM) was applied to further investigate the differences/similarities of O₃ photochemistry between non-episode and episode days, in terms of O₃-precursor relationship, atmospheric photochemical reactivity and O₃ production. The simulation results revealed that, from non-O₃ episode days to episode days, 1) O₃ production changed from both VOC and NOx-limited (transition regime) to VOC-limited; 2) OH radicals increased and photochemical reaction cycling processes accelerated; and 3) both O₃ production and destruction rates increased significantly, resulting in an elevated net O₃ production over the SCS. The findings indicate the complexity of O₃ pollution over the SCS. Elevation of maritime O₃ and its precursors was attributable to the transport of polluted continental air, implying impact of human activities on atmospheric composition above the SCS. | Keywords: | Ozone Photochemical box model Photochemistry South China Sea VOCs |
