Abstract Continuous measurements of HONO and related pollutants were conducted in the urban area of Shanghai from November 6, 2022, to January 2, 2023. By combining box model simulations, the concentrations, characteristics, and sources of winter HONO in Shanghai urban area were obtained. The results showed that the average concentration of HONO was (1.17±0.82)×10^-9, with a concentration range of (0.078~5.32)×10^-9. The average concentration of HONO in pollution days was significantly higher than that in clean days, showing an increase of approximately 67.2%. HONO exhibited diurnal variation, with higher concentrations at night and lower concentrations during the day, similar to the diurnal variation of NO_x. Analysis of correlations between HONO_corr and various influencing factors indicated that the heterogeneous conversion of NO₂ was the main source of HONO during nighttime, while both homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions (including photo-enhanced conversion) were dominate sources during daytime. Box model simulations suggested that daytime sources of HONO primarily were photo-enhanced conversion of NO₂ on ground surfaces and homogeneous reactions involving OH and NO₂. The average HONO formation rates in pollution days were 0.21 and 0.16×10^-9/h, respectively. During nighttime, the dominate sources were NO₂ conversion on ground surfaces and primary emissions. The increase in PM_2.5 and its chemical species during nighttime lead to an increased contribution from NO₂ photo-enhanced conversion on various surfaces.
