Abstract

To investigate the photostationary state (PSS) of nitrogen oxides (NO_x), fast and precise measurements of related compounds were simultaneously carried out in the urban atmosphere. A PSS parameter φ including the observed peroxy radical (RO_x) was examined. Consequently, φ was not significantly different from unity in many cases. Observed NO_x, O₃, J_NO2 and RO_x could reasonably elucidate the PSS of NO_x. Meanwhile, in some cases with large RO_x/O₃, φ was significantly less than unity. It was suggested that the reaction rate coefficients of RO_x with NO could be critical for the PSS in the urban atmosphere. It was confirmed that the LIF instrument is promising to observationally approach the PSS of NO_x.
