Abstract

Abstract. Ozone pollution has become one of the top environmental concerns in eastern China. Quantifying temporal trend of surface ozone concentrations is very meaningful to assess the impacts of the anthropogenic precursor reductions and the effects of emission control strategies. The level of surface ozone is impacted by both emissions of precursors and meteorological conditions. In order to examine the variation trend of ozone from 2003 to 2015 in Shangdianzi regional atmosphere background station, the modified KZ filter method was performed in this study to remove the influence of meteorological fluctuations on ozone concentrations. Results reveal that the short-term component, seasonal component and long-term component of ozone account for 36.4, 57.6 and 2.2 % of the total variance, respectively. The long-term trend shows that the surface daily maximum 8-h O3 has undergone a significant increase during 2003–2015, with a rate of 1.1 ppb yr−1. We find that the increase was completely resulted from the change of the emissions when the influence of the meteorological factors was eliminated. Furthermore, the variation of NO2 indicated that VOCs seemed to play more important role in the increase trend of the surface ozone.

  • Observations made at a rural site (Dadianzi) 100 km northeast Beijing showed a steady increase in annual averages of the 8-h daily max ozone concentrations from 2004 to 2015.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
