英文摘要 | Investigations on the variations in ozone concentration, aerosol properties, and ozone-aerosol interactions can help to better understand the atmospheric radiation budget and their effects on climate. In this study, the interaction of ozone and aerosol was analyzed over Zanjan, Iran. The seasonal cycle of total column ozone demonstrated that high ozone concentrations often occur in early spring and winter. However, the seasonal cycle of tropospheric ozone showed that high concentrations of tropospheric ozone often happen in the spring and summer. The high values of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD), Particulate Matter (PM10) and Absorption Aerosol Optical Depth (AAOD) were observed in the spring and summer, whereas low values in the fall and winter. The results showed that tropospheric ozone and AOD were negatively correlated during the spring and summer seasons. Especially on dusty days, the aerosol has reduced the concentration of ozone in the atmosphere. The correlation coefficients between PM10 and ozone were negative during dusty days/months. Moreover, the relation of ozone with a fine mode fraction of AOD depicted negative correlations in the spring and summer and positive correlation in the fall and winter. A comprehensive study on the effects of the aerosol types on ozone concentration showed that anthropogenic fine mode aerosols such as urban/industrial had a positive impact on ozone production, contrary to the effect of dust, which reduced ozone. This study showed that coarse mode aerosols such as dust with higher AOD, reduced the sunlight to reach the earth's surface. As a result, aerosol radiative forcing (ARF) values were found to be more negative at the surface; thus, the photolysis rate decreased considerably, and the concentration of surface ozone was reduced significantly. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd |
