Study on Distribution and Transport of SO2 and NO2 in North China Plain using Mobile DOAS

This study investigates the spatial and temporal distribution of SO2 and NO2 in the North China Plain (NCP) using mobile Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS) instruments. The study aims to understand the sources and influence of these pollutants on Beijing's air quality, as well as estimate pollutant emissions and study their transport processes.

  3. Introduction China is facing with the regional and complex air pollution 2014/02/19－26 (Beijing) 2013/12/01－07 (YRD) 2013/10/17－21 (XI’an) PM2.5 Number of days of haze >100

  4. Introduction SO2, NO2 are important precursors of PM2.5 PM2.5 Chemical Compositions: SO42- and NO3- contribute nearly 50% to PM2.5 WANG et al, 2014, SCIENCE CHINA Many SO2 and NO2 sources locate in North China Plain, strongly affected the air quality of Beijing under specific wind field. Wu et al., 2011, ACP In order to know better about the sources and their influence to Beijing, it is necessary to investigate the spatial and temporal distribution of SO2 and NO2 in NCP. Zhang et al., 2014, ACP Su Fuqinget al, 2004

  26. Results and Discussions Identification of emission source @ Beijing 5th and 6th Ring Road HOPE J3A 2014 field campaign SO2 NO2 NO2 NO2 NO2 NO2 VCD（ppmm） Beijing 6th Ring Road NO2 NO2 NO2 NO2 NO2 NO2 NO2 NO2 NO2 2014年12月21日 2014年11月3日 2014年12月31日 2014年12月21日 Beijing 6thRing Road 2014年11月7日 • The vehicle exhaust is the major source of NO2 in Beijing. • The distribution of NO2 VCD of western 6th ring road is affected by the industrial source near Mentougou Area, which resulted in local NO2 VCD increase.

  27. Summary • In NCP, the SO2 and NO2 VCDs are higher along the southwest route than that along southeast route. However, the near-surface concentrations are higher along southeast route. • Southwest route is a important transport pathway to affect air quality in Beijing. High elevated point sources are the major contributors to SO2 along southwest route. Low area sources are the contributors to SO2 along southeast route. • Vehicle emission is main source of NO2. The SO2 and NO2 VCD enhance simultaneously indicates there is coal-combustion source. • In Beijing City, SO2 is most transported from surrounding area whereas the NO2 is from local traffic. • There is a good agreement between OMI and mobile DOAS. The correlation coefficient is R2=0.65. • Mobile DOAS is a potential powerful tool for pollutant distribution investigation , tracking the plume as well as satellite validation. • .

  28. Case: “Tracking Haze” experimental observation(11 Oct.~18 Oct., 2014 ) Hefei-Zhengzhou-Wuhan-Hefei-JiNan • The distributions of SO2 and NO2 are characterized by mobile DOAS rapidly. • The SO2 and NO2 VCD was greatly influenced by the heavy industrial source emission. The emission sources are identified using this scanning measurement, like heavy emission sources are found in Wuhan.
