Interactive comment on “Impacts of aerosol direct effects on tropospheric ozone through changes in atmospheric dynamics and photolysis rates” by Jia Xing et al
نویسنده
چکیده
[Comment]: However, the authors have not considered the prominent way aerosols impact tropospheric ozone formation via heterogeneous reactions which leads me to question the conclusions of this study. Several studies have highlighted the role of aerosols in modulating ozone via heterogeneous reactions (eg., Liao and Seinfeld, 2005; Ti et al., 2005; Pozzoli et al., 2008; Xu et al., 2012; Lou et al., 2014), which have largely been ignored in this study. The authors need to provide a strong justification for ignoring the impact of aerosols on ozone via heterogeneous reactions, before I can recommend this paper for publication.

Tropospheric Aerosol Impacts on Trace-Gas Budgets through Photolysis
Aerosols affect the global budgets of O3, OH and CH4 in part through their alteration of photolysis rates and in part through their direct chemistry interactions with gases (a.k.a. “heterogeneous chemistry”). The first effect is evaluated here with a global tropospheric chemistry transport model using recently developed global climatologies of tropospheric aerosols: a satellite-derived aerosol ...

(UT/LS) ozone within regional air quality modeling systems. The parameterization is based on regressions between modeled potential vorticity (PV) and observed ozone profiles. Observed ozone is based on measurements from 44 northern hemisphere World Ozone and Ultraviolet Radiation Data Centre (WOUDC) sites. The modeled PV is based on a 21 year (1990-2010) coupled Weather Research and Forecasting...

[1] A unified tropospheric chemistry-aerosol model has been developed within the Goddard Institute for Space Studies general circulation model (GCM). The model includes a detailed simulation of tropospheric ozone-NOx-hydrocarbon chemistry as well as aerosols and aerosol precursors. Predicted aerosol species include sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, black carbon, primary organic carbon, and secondary ...

The GFDL AM3 model is the atmospheric component of a global coupled atmosphere-ocean-land-sea ice model (CM3) [Donner et al., 2011; Griffies et al., 2011; John et al., 2012]. The unique feature of interactive stratosphere-troposphere chemistry and dynamics [Naik et al., 2013; Austin et al., 2013] distinguishes the GFDL AM3 model from most current generation global and regional tropospheric chem...

Abstract: Clean air is a necessity for human well-being and health. Air pollution is a major threat to humans and other organisms and is considered as one of the environmental challenges. Today, with the increase in air pollution, the need to know more about the causes of its occurrence has been raised. The various consequences of air pollution have made air quality monitoring and control inev...
