【 摘 要 】

The horizontal and vertical distributions of ozone and its precursors over North America during spring and summer are frequently determined by several factors: cloud convection, lightning NOx production, mixing depth, and long-range transport. The critical factors that contribute to the spatial distribution of air pollutants are studied using the Regional chEmical trAnsport Model (REAM) with diverse satellite measurements as well as in-situ surface and aircraft measurements.Surface and aircraft measurements show a large amount of reactive nitrogen tracers over the Antarctic plateau during summer. These enhanced measurements are investigated, and their photochemical impact is accessed by 1-D CTM and REAM.
