1. Comparison of the CMAQ ozone simulation and the lidar measurement for a STE event CMAQ O3 The CMAQ model is able to capture most of the tropospheric ozone variability caused by this STE event [manuscript in prep., Arastoo et al.] and simulates extremely well the subsiding tongue-shaped ozone layer. Lidar O3 Sonde
Low PBL O3 due to the precipitation on 11/3 and 4, 298 There high RH looks wrong Also, these should be much lower (<5%), possibly interfered by the high RH at lower alt.
No high surface ozone, here the high index (e.g., later than 11/9) is due to PM, not ozone (check ‘ozone peak and ‘Particle peak’)
