High resolution vertical distributions of NO3 and N2O5 through the nocturnal boundary layer
The shallow mixing depth and vertical stratification of the lowest levels of the atmosphere at night has implications for the chemistry of nitrogen oxides emitted from the surface. Here we report vertical profiles of NO3, N2O5 and O3 measured from in-situ instruments on a movable carriage on a 300 m tower. The study offers high-resolution (<1 m) vertical distributions of both NO3 and N2O5 and s...
متن کاملVertical profiles of NO3, N2O5, O3, and NOx in the nocturnal boundary layer: 2. Model studies on the altitude dependence of composition and chemistry
[1] Recent field observations in urban areas have shown that trace gases, such as O3, NO2, and NO3, develop distinct vertical concentration profiles at night. Because nocturnal chemistry can change the gas-phase and particulate composition in the urban boundary layer considerably, it is important to understand the mechanisms that lead to the change of trace gas levels with altitude. The quantif...
متن کاملVertical profiles of NO3, N2O5, O3, and NOx in the nocturnal boundary layer: 1. Observations during the Texas Air Quality Study 2000
[1] Nocturnal chemistry in urban areas can considerably influence the composition of the boundary layer by removing nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons, as well as changing the size and composition of aerosol particles. Although these processes can have a severe impact on pollution levels at night and during the following day, little quantitative information is available. In particular, the vertic...
متن کاملVertical profiles of O3 and NOx chemistry in the polluted nocturnal boundary layer in Phoenix, AZ: I. Field observations by long-path DOAS
Nocturnal chemistry in the atmospheric boundary layer plays a key role in determining the initial chemical conditions for photochemistry during the following morning as well as influencing the budgets of O3 and NO2. Despite its importance, chemistry in the nocturnal boundary layer (NBL), especially in heavily polluted urban areas, has received little attention so far, which greatly limits the c...
متن کاملVertical Variation of Nocturnal Nox Chemistry in the Urban Environment of Phoenix
During the Phoenix Sunrise Experiment in June-July, 2001, the vertical distributions of NO2, HONO, NO3 and several other trace gases were measured with a long-path differential optical absorption spectroscopy system in the downtown area. Strong vertical gradients of all observed species were observed during the night, clearly showing that nocturnal chemistry in this urban environment is height ...
