Ozone (O3) is an important secondary pollutant that impacts air quality and human health. Eastern Asia has high regional O3 background due to the numerous sources and increasing and rapid industrial growth, which impacts the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA). However, SMA has also been experiencing increasing O3 driven by decreasing NOx emissions, highlighting the role of local, in-situ O3 production on SMA. Here, comprehensive gas-phase measurements collected on the NASA DC-8 during the NIER/NASA Korea United States-Air Quality (KORUS-AQ) study are used to constrain the instantaneous O3 production rate over the SMA. The observed NOx oxidized products support the importance of non-measured peroxy nitrates (PNs) in the O3 chemistry in SMA, as they accounted for ~49 % of the total PNs. Using the total measured PNs (ΣPNs) and alkyl and multifunctional nitrates (ΣANs), unmeasured volatile organic compound (VOC) reactivity (R(VOC)) is constrained and found to range from 1.4 – 2.1 s-1. Combining the observationally constrained R(VOC) with the other measurements on the DC-8, the instantaneous net O3 production rate, which is as high as ~10 ppbv hr-1, along with the important sinks of O3 and radical chemistry, are constrained. This analysis shows that ΣPNs play an important role in both the sinks of O3 and radical chemistry. Since ΣPNs are assumed to be in steady-state, the results here highlight the role ΣPNs play in urban environments in reducing net O3 production, but ΣPNs can potentially lead to increased net O3 production downwind due to their short lifetime (~1 hr). The results provide guidance for future measurements to identify the missing R(VOCs) and ΣPNs production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
