Short summary

Vertical profiles of the aerosol extinction coefficient and NO₂ and HCHO concentrations were retrieved from MAX-DOAS measurement, while vertical distribution of O₃ was obtained using ozone lidar. The measured O₃ vertical distribution indicates that the ozone production not only occurs at surface level but also at higher altitudes (about 1.1 km), which are not directly related to horizontal and vertical transportation but are mainly influenced by the abundance of VOCs in the lower troposphere.
