    Spatio-temporal Characteristics Analysis of Ozone Valley on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau Based on Satellite Data

    • 青藏高原臭氧谷对全球气候具有重要影响, 为探索臭氧谷具体时空特征, 本文主要利用臭氧监测仪(OMI)和微波临边探测器(MLS)提供的2010-2023年青藏高原和同纬度地区臭氧总量日观测数据、对流层臭氧月均值数据和臭氧廓线数据, 对青藏高原上空臭氧低值中心的时空分布特征进行相应分析, 并简要讨论总结了该现象产生的可能原因. 研究结果表明, 青藏高原和全球同纬度地区相比, 夏季存在明显的臭氧低值现象; 青藏高原垂直方向臭氧低值主要发生在15~20 km范围内, 其中最低值对应高度为16.8 km, 大致位于对流层顶; 青藏高原内部臭氧低值现象存在明显的地域差异, 冬季南部和北部规律相反.

       

      Abstract: The ozone valley over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau has a significant impact on global climate. To explore the specific temporal and spatial characteristics of the ozone valley, this study primarily utilizes daily total ozone columns, monthly average tropospheric ozone columns, and ozone profiles derived from OMI and MLS over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau from 2010 to 2023. The study analyzes the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of the ozone low-value center over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and briefly discusses the possible causes of this phenomenon. Additionally, we employ spatial interpolation and precision-controlled data screening to minimize uncertainties in satellite retrievals, ensuring robust conclusions. The results are indicated below. Compared to other regions at the same latitude globally, the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau exhibits a distinct low-ozone phenomenon during the summer, with a maximum deficit of 36 DU (Dobson Unit), located in the northwestern part of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. Notably, this seasonal anomaly extends to tropospheric ozone, where the plateau shows a deficit of 15 DU relative to regions at the same latitude globally. Vertically, there are multiple peaks of the ozone deficit over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau in summer. The low ozone values over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau are mainly concentrated within the 15~20 km range, with the lowest value corresponding to an altitude of 16.8 km, roughly at the tropopause. There are significant regional differences in the low-ozone phenomenon within the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, with opposite patterns observed between the southern and northern parts during the winter, where northern regions show ozone surpluses (+156.2 ppb) within the 15~20 km range, contrasting southern deficits. Based on the current study, future research will utilize high-resolution, multi-source data and relevant climate models to analyze further and validate the formation mechanisms of the ozone valley and its impacts on climate.
