Vertical ozone formation mechanisms resulting from increased oxidation on the mountainside of Mount Tai, China.

ABSTRACT: The vertical distribution of ozone (O₃) within the boundary layer (BL) and its ground-level effects have been extensively studied. However, observational limitations in obtaining high-resolution, real-time data on O₃ and its precursors, especially volatile organic compounds (VOCs), have led to a scarcity of research on O₃ formation sensitivity and mechanisms. Online measurements for O₃, nitrogen oxides (NO _x ), and VOCs were made on the mountainside of Mount Tai (∼550 m a.s.l.) in China during the summer of 2022 and were compared with the data from a ground-level site. The Master Chemical Mechanism (V3.3.1) was used to uncover a positive correlation between NO _x and photochemical reaction rates on the mountains
