Abstract:Based on observational data from the Acid Deposition Monitoring Network in East Asia (EANET) and World Data Centre for Greenhouse Gases (WDCGG), the seasonal variation characteristics of surface ozone in various regions was compared. By MOZART-4model and the online tagging method, combined with the analysis of O3 budget, the contribution of various effects to ozone were confirmed in different regions. The model-simulated O3 and its precursors agreed well with observed values and other researches in the troposphere. The analyses of O3 budgets at surface showed the values of budgets were relatively low (-3×10-9~ 3×10-9/d), and the chemistry was net loss of O3 over clean background regions (most near ocean). Over continental region, the chemistry was net production of O3(~ 33.8×10-9/d), and the main sources of surface O3 were from inside of troposphere, while the contributions of stratospheric O3 were relatively low (~ 10×10-9). Over polar and clean region, the contributions of stratospheric O3 showed obvious seasonal changes with the largest in winter (~ 20.7×10-9) and the lowest in summer (~2×10-9), which account for the O3 seasonal variations.
