[Analysis of O3 Pollution Affected by a Succession of Three Landfall Typhoons in 2020 in Eastern China].

Based on air quality monitoring, surface meteorological data, wind profile radar observation, and the HYSPLIT model, the characteristics and causes of O3 pollution in eastern China during the period of the typhoons BAVI, MAYSAK, and HAISHEN from August 26 to September 8, 2020 were analyzed. The results showed that during the succession of the three landfall typhoons, the O3 pollution sites in Beijing Tianjin Hebei and its surrounding areas (BTHS) and the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) exceeded 50%. During the HAISHEN period, O3 pollution days in the two regions reached 2.22 d and 2.97 d, respectively, with significant persistence characteristics. The location of the typhoon had an obvious influence on O3 concentration. When the typhoons were located within the 24h warning line, the O3 concentrations in BTHS and YRD were relatively low. When the typhoons were located between the 24 h and 48 h warning lines, the O3 concentration in BTHS was the highest. When the typhoons moved north of 34°N, the YRD was most prone to regional O3 pollution. O3 pollution in Shanghai mainly occurred under the control of the northward air flow to the west side of the typhoons, and the regional transport from the upstream area had a significant impact on the increase in O3 and its precursor concentrations. The downdraft below 1 000 m maintained O3 at a high concentration at night. In Jinan, O3 pollution mainly occurred under the control of the subtropical high and typhoon periphery. The downdraft prevailed in the middle and lower levels during the O3 pollution. From August 28 to 30, under the control of the subtropical high, the pollutants were mainly accumulated locally, and some of them were transmitted within the province, showing a "double high" phenomenon of O3 and PM2.5. From September 5 to 8, under the influence of HAISHEN peripheral circulation, the regional transport was obvious, and the O3 concentration increased earlier than that of PM2.5.
