Seasonal Interactive Relationships Between Tropospheric Nitrogen Dioxide Surface Concentration and Nitrate Dry Deposition Over China: Winter/Summer Analysis
The interactions between tropospheric nitrogen dioxide and nitrate dry deposition in summer and winter of 2004 in China are analyzed by using Community Multi-scale Air Quality CMAQ (version. 4.4) coupled with the Regional Atmospheric Meteorological System (RAMS). Results indicate that NO2 and dry nitrate deposition chemical relationships are governed by OH photochemical activity mostly in summer daytimes at upper troposphere, but also by other parameters such as N2O5 heterogeneous reactions and NO3 radical transformations in both winter and summer mainly in night. Nighttimes reactions in winter contribute to about 28% of NO2 loss and 32% nitrate dry deposition increment versus 19% and 26% respectively in summer. In winter, maximal NO2 engenders minimal nitrate dry deposition containing 67% of NO3.Minimum NO2 in summer generating maximal nitrate dry deposition with 87% of NO3. The sensitivity trends of key gas such as NO2, OH and HNO3 derived from Nox source perturbation indicate that HNO3 dry deposition from upper troposphere is mainly in summer and from lower troposphere in winter, suggesting the importance of altitude in the photochemical process.
