Model Analyses of Changes in Spring Surface Ozone Concentrations over Shandong Province in the Period of 2014–2017 by Jialin Li, Juzhen Cai, Houfeng Liu, Xiao Han, Yongfu Xu, Xiaofang Cai, Meigen Zhang

“…Measurements at 14 stations in Shandong Province showed that the monthly mean O3 concentrations in the late spring (May) increased by 22.2 µg m−3 from 2014 to 2017. To investigate the reasons of the increase of O3 in springtime from 2014 to 2017, the changes of O3 concentrations due to meteorological conditions and emissions in May were studied based on ambient measurements and simulations with the RAMS-CMAQ modeling system. …”
