摘　　要：Beijing faces the challenge of high levels of ozone(O_(3))pollution.In this study,the Weather Research and Forecasting model and Community Multiscale Air Qualitymodel(CMAQ)were used to simulate atmospheric O_(3) concentrations in Beijing.To investigate the formation mechanisms and source contributions of O_(3) pollution in different regions of Beijing,process analysis and the integrated source apportionmentmethodwithin the CMAQwere applied to O_(3) concentrations in the summer of 2018.The process analysis results showed that vertical diffusion was the major contributor to O_(3) concentrations at all receptor sites in Beijing,at>65.94μg/(m^(3)·hr).Gas-phase chemical reactions consumed a significant amount of O_(3) in urban and inner suburban areas(>−5.57μg/(m^(3)·hr)),while near-surface chemical reactions made positive contributions in outer suburban areas(>4.72μg/(m^(3)·hr)).The O_(3) formation chemical reactions indicated that NO titration,which removes O_(3) at night-time,mainly occurred in urban areas.The weaker chemical reactions occurring near the surface in outer suburbs suggested that suburban-area O_(3) was produced in the upper atmospheric layers and was transported vertically to the lower layers.The O_(3) source apportionment results showed that boundary contributions were the dominant contributor to O_(3) pollution in Beijing(>40%).The contribution of non-local emissions to O_(3) levels was significantly greater in the outer suburbs than in urban and inner suburban areas due to topography.This study increases the understanding of the complex processes of O_(3) formation in different areas of Beijing and informs the implementation of O_(3) control plans.
