Gaseous nitrous acid (HONO) is a crucial precursor of hydroxyl (OH) radical, which is a "detergent" in the atmosphere. Nowadays, HONO formation mechanisms at polluted urban areas are controversial, which restricts the understanding of atmospheric oxidative capacity and radical cycling. Herein, multi-day vertical observation of HONO and NOx was simultaneously performed at three heights at the urban area of Beijing for the first time. The vertical distribution of HONO was often unexpected, which had the highest HONO concentration at 120 m, followed by those at 8 m and 240 m. 0D box model simulations suggest that ground and aerosol surfaces might play similar roles in NO2 conversion at 8 m during the whole measurement. NO2 conversion on aerosol surfaces was the most important HONO source aloft during haze days. At daytime, a strong missing HONO source unexpectedly existed in the urban aloft and it was relevant with solar radiation and consumed OH.
