Measurement and model analyses of the ozone variation during 2006 to 2015 and its response to emission change in megacity Shanghai, China

Abstract: The fine particles (PM 2.5 ) in China have decreased significantly in recent years as a result of the implementation of Chinese Clean Air Action Plan since 2013, while the O 3 pollution is getting worse, especially in megacities such as Beijing and Shanghai. Better understanding of the elevated O 3 pollution in Chinese megacities and its response to emission change is important for developing an effective emission control strategy in the future. In this study, we analyze the significant increasing trend of dai… Show more

“…Both the removal of these O 3 precursors, such as methane (CH 4 ), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs), carbon monoxide (CO) and NO x , and the formation of secondary pollutants like ozone and secondary organic/inorganic aerosols are controlled by the oxidation capacity of the atmosphere (Prinn, 2003;Hofzumahaus et al, 2009;Ma et al, 2010Ma et al, , 2012Feng et al, 2019). The term "atmospheric oxidation capacity (AOC)" is defined as the sum of the respective oxidation rates of primary pollutants (CH 4 , NMVOCs and CO) by the oxidants (OH, O 3 and NO 3 ; Elshorbany et al, 2009;Xue et al, 2016). Therefore, understanding the processes and rates under which these species are oxidized in the atmosphere is critical to identify the controlling factors of secondary pollution in the atmosphere.…”

“…High temperature and high radiation promote HO x cycling reactions, which is also affected by the abundance of other atmospheric compounds (Coates et al, 2016;Xing et al, 2017). This cycling is closely related to atmospheric photochemical reactivity, especially the generation of ozone, secondary aerosols and other pollutants (Mao et al, 2010;Xue et al, 2016). The radical cycling is terminated by their crossreactions with NO x under high-NO x conditions (e.g., OH + NO 2 , RO 2 + NO and RO 2 + NO 2 ) and RO x under low-NO x conditions (e.g., HO 2 + HO 2 , RO 2 + HO 2 and RO 2 + RO 2 ), which results in the formation of nitric acid, organic nitrates and peroxides (Wood et al, 2009;Liu et al, 2012;Xue et al, 2016).…”

“…China has initiated a series of pollution control policies in recent years (Zheng et al, 2018;Ma et al, 2019) and achieved success in controlling some air pollutants, especially PM2.5 Yu et al, 2019;Xu et al, 2019). However, the ozone pollution is still severe in China especially the mega-city areas (Li et al, 2019;Xu et al, 2019). It is widely known that NOx and VOC are the precursors of ground 5 level ozone pollution (Seinfeld and Pandis, 2012).…”

“…We used the long-term record of satellite HCHO VC from the OMI sensor to asses our estimation of The increase of BVOC reported by this study is expected to lead to a more complex situation for making the policies for controlling ozone pollution in China. The recent pollution control policies in China have effectively initiated the control of PM2.5 pollution, but the ozone pollution is still severe especially in 5 urban areas Yu et al, 2019;Xu et al, 2019;Li et al, 2019). Although anthropogenic emission is still the dominant source of NMVOC in China and is ~70 % higher than the average biogenic emission in China, the BVOC still makes an important contribution to ozone pollution in mega cities including Beijing (Pang et al, 2009;Shao et al, 2009), Shang Hai (Geng et al, 2011), Guang Zhou (Situ et al, 2013) and Xi'an and may further increase in importance considering the continuing 10 greening trend over China in the future.…”

“…The sensitivity study of the WRF-Chem model quantified the threshold value of the emission ratio of NOx/VOCs for switching from a VOC-limited to a NOx-limited regime in Shanghai (Tie et al, 2013). Another study has estimated that future ozone will be reduced by 2-3 ppbv in suburban, and more than 4 ppbv in rural areas in Shanghai after 2020 (Xu et al, 2019). However, few of these earlier studies investigated atmospheric oxidation capacity and radical chemistry in Shanghai with an observation-constrained model.…”
