Short summary

While oceanic air is generally thought to be clean, the air pollution over waters in proximity to the coasts is not well recognized. This research indicated that ozone was higher over South China Sea (SCS) than that in the adjacent continental area, while continental anticyclone, tropical cyclone and land breeze favored O₃ formation over SCS. In addition, weaker NO titration and stronger atmospheric oxidative capacity led to higher O₃ production efficiency over SCS.
