Abstract
Measurements of O3, NOx and SO2 concentrations were performedat Bijodaira (altitude 977m), on the westernn slope of Mt. Tateyama, in the summer and autumn of 2004 and 2005. A clear diurnal variation of O3, reaching amaximum during the afternoon, was observed in the summer and early autumn. No clear diurnal variation was seen in November. However, NO x concentration was higher in the daytime than in the nighttime both in the summer and in the autumn. The difference in diurnal variation of O3 may be due to the photochemical formation of O3 during the summer and autumn. High concentrations of SO 2 were sometimes observed in November. The backward trajectory analysis showed that the high concentrations of SO2 at Bijodaira originated from the pollutant regions of the Asian continent.
