Profiles of the ozone (O3) concentration and meteorological parameters were measured with tethered balloons at two rural sites (the Zhuozhou and Gucheng stations) in the summer of 2012 and 2013 to investigate the interaction of morning residual layer (RL) O3and mixing layer (ML) O3. Results revealed that O3from the previous day or surrounding transport will be stored in the RL and made significant impact on surface O3via downward mixing during transition hours (06:00 LT-10:00 LT). More O3was stored in the RL, the higher base concentration for O3pollution was existed. Generally, the downward mixing and photochemical reaction jointly contribute to the surface O3variation and horizontal transport of O3will further enhance this impact. Sometimes, even though the meteorological condition is unchanged, surface O3concentration could still be gradually accumulated via O3carried over from the preceding day. Impact of this downward mixing process was usually the greatest from 8: 00-10: 00 LT. Concentration of the O3carried over from the previous day can be as high as 76.8 ppb. Compared with local photochemical production, the RL O3could contribute more than 50% to the surface O3during transition hours. As a result, morning RL O3significantly influence the ML O3in rural areas of the North China Plain. Understanding of this mechanism will contribute to the experiment study and the improvement of air quality model.
