Abstract

Comparing to the other air pollutants like <TEX>$SO_2$</TEX>, CO, the number of exceedance of the ozone national ambient air quality standard(NAAQS) and the ozone warning increased recently in Busan. The purpose of this study is to find out the preliminary symptoms for high ozone days in Busan area. In order to find out the preliminary symptoms, the hourly ozone data at air quality monitoring stations and the hourly meterological parameters at Busan regional meteorological 2007 to 2013 were used for the analysis. Averaged daily max ozone concentration was the highest(0.055 ppm) at Noksan and Youngsuri in the ozone season from 2007 to 2013. The horizontal distributions of daily max. ozone including all stations in Busan at high ozone days(the day exceeding 0.1 ppm of ozone concentration at least one station) were classified from two to five clusters by hierarchial cluster analysis. The meteorological variables showing strong correlation with daily max. ozone were the daily mean dew point temperature, averaged total insolation, the daily mean relative humidity and the daily mean cloud amount. And the most frequent levels were <TEX>$19-23^{\circ}C$</TEX> in dew point temperature, <TEX>$21-24 MJ/m^2$</TEX> in total insolation on the day before, <TEX>$2.6-3.0 MJ/m^2$</TEX> on the very day, 67-80% in relative humidity and 0-3 in cloud amount.
