High nitrate concentrations peak near the boundary layer top, emphasizing the role of photochemical processes.
Seasonal variations demonstrate the significance of thermodynamic and dynamic drivers in nitrate formation.
The observational analysis revealed a strong diurnal variation of nitrate in winter, linked to atmospheric oxidizing capacity.
Results highlight the need for focused emission reductions on precursors to mitigate urban haze from nitrate.

Integrated analysis shows seasonal nitrate shifts and factors in megacity air, indicating targeted emission controls may help.

Tian et al. (2025) studied this question.
