Introduction North China, or Huabei region, located between 32°- 42°N latitude in eastern China, is one of the most severely polluted regions in China. There are many large and strong emission sources in Beijing (BJ), Tianjin (TJ), Tangshan (TS) and Shijiazhuang (SJZ) in Huabei. The chemical characteristics of air masses from these cities are expected to be very different. A regional chemical transport model coupled with the tracer tagging method are used to investigate the ozone production efficiency (OPEx) from those polluted cities. Model description The regional chemical transport model coupled with an on-line tracer tagging method was used Ma et al., 2002 . The meteorological information was provided by MM5. The model domain covers the entire Huabei region. In the horizontal, the model includes 91×61 grid with 10km resolution. In the vertical the model is divided unequally into 30 layers. The anthropogenic emissions in Huabei region are obtained from Zhao et al (2012) with 10km resolution as shown in Fig.1. The initial and boundary conditions of chemical species were from the EMAC global model. The simulation period was from 8:00 UTC 1 April to 23:00 UTC16 May 2006. Results Results M.Xue, J. Z.

IntroductionNorth China, or Huabei region, located between 32°- 42°N latitude in eastern China, is one of the most severely polluted regions in China. There are many large and strong emission sources in Beijing (BJ), Tianjin (TJ), Tangshan (TS) and Shijiazhuang (SJZ) in Huabei. The chemical characteristics of air masses from these cities are expected to be very different. A regional chemical transport model coupled with the tracer tagging method are used to investigate the ozone production efficiency (OPEx) from those polluted cities.

Model description

The regional chemical transport model coupled with an on-line tracer tagging method was used ( Ma et al., 2002 ) . The meteorological information was provided by MM5. The model domain covers the entire Huabei region. In the horizontal, the model includes 91×61 grid with 10km resolution. In the vertical the model is divided unequally into 30 layers. The anthropogenic emissions in Huabei region are obtained from Zhao et al (2012) with 10km resolution as shown in Fig.1. The initial and boundary conditions of chemical species were from the EMAC global model. The simulation period was from 8:00 UTC 1 April to 23:00 UTC16 May 2006.
