Short summary

The Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region has been suffering from severe ozone (O₃) pollution in recent years. Synoptic systems, like typhoons, can have a significant effect on O₃ episodes. However, research on landfall typhoons affecting O₃ in the YRD is limited. This work aims to reveal the main processes of landfall typhoons affecting surface O₃ and estimate health impacts of O₃ during the study period in the YRD, which can be useful for taking reasonable pollution control measures in this area.
