Abstract:
Upper-layer ozone (O3) intrusion (ULOI) is an important source of surface O3, affecting gas pollutants and secondary aerosol formation. However, no robust method has been reported to identify ULOI events based on ground observations and assess their effects on surface atmospheric chemistry. We propose a novel method to identify ULOI events by ranking O3 concentrations before dawn and evaluate their contributions to ground-level O3 and aerosol formation across China. Our results show that ULOI events occur at a rate of 22%-74% across China, with higher frequency in eastern and southern coastal regions. ULOI enhances ground-level O3 by 13-43 ppbv at night and 3-14 ppbv during the day. This increases atmospheric oxidation capacity (AOC) and enhances the contribution of the O3 oxidation path to sulfate and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation. This study emphasizes the importance of atmospheric layer interactions and the impact of ULOI events on surface atmospheric chemistry.
