Interactive comment on “Improved provincial emission inventory and speciation profiles of anthropogenic non-methane volatile organic compounds: a case study for Jiangsu, China” by Yu Zhao et al

0. The paper describes a bottom-up development and evaluation of a highly-resolved regional emission inventory for NMHCs in the area of Jiangsu, a strong industrialized region in Eastern China. The reference period is almost 10 years. The quantification of chemical processes is based on the determination of realistic source profiles for industrial activities by near-source measurements. The aut...

Mapping Asian anthropogenic emissions of non-methane volatile organic compounds to multiple chemical mechanisms

An accurate speciation mapping of non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC) emissions has an important impact on the performance of chemical transport models (CTMs) in simulating ozone mixing ratios and secondary organic aerosols. Taking the INTEX-B Asian NMVOC emission inventory as the case, we developed an improved speciation framework to generate model-ready anthropogenic NMVOC emission...

Source Apportionment Of High Reactive Volatile Organic Compounds In a Region With The Massive Hydrocarbon Processing Industries

In the Persian Gulf region, conditions are highly favorable for ozone air pollution and the region is a hot spot of photochemical smog. The vast activities in processing oil and gas play a major role in it. It was found that the elevated concentrations of reactive hydrocarbons co-emitted with nitrogen oxides from Hydrocarbon Processing facilities lead to substantial ozone production. South Pars...
