Abstract
In troposphere, ozone is a toxic secondary pollutant produced when its precursors react in sunlight. An important source of ozone precursors is biomass burning. Here we investigate the impacts of 2016 Southeast U.S. Wildfires on ozone production by integrating vertical resolved ozone profiles and photochemical modeling. The results show that wildfires contributed to ozone lamina at the top of boundary layer and enhanced surface ozone up to about 10ppbv in Southeast U.S.. Ozone lidar observed a lower ozone change with respect to a fast growth of aerosol plume, of which the reason is also investigated. Current results indicate an effective integration of vertical observations and modeling for us to understand the ozone production from fires in troposphere.
