Vertical distributions of COS and CS_2 in Beijing City

摘要

Vertical distributions of COS and CS_2 were measured at a meteorological tower in Beijing City. The mixing ratios of COS and CS_2 are in the range of 371-1681 pptv and 246-1222 pptv, respectively. The significant high mixing ratios of the two compounds at ground level and distinct vertical distributions indicated the existence of strong anthropogenic sources of COS and CS_2 in Beijing City. Domestic stoves and central heaters are important sources of COS during winter season. Cesspools may play significant role on COS over whole seasons. Chemical productions may be responsible for the observed high mixing ratios of CS_2 in Beijing City.
