The squares of the correlation coefficients (R 2 ) and the slopes derived from the linear regressions (red lines) are given in each subplot. For HONO, R²and the slopes are also given for the measured dscd larger than molecules cm -2 in order to minimise the effect of measurements close or below the detection limit.

12 Figure S5: Nighttime (0-6h) and daytime (7-18h) contributions (colorbar) of air mass from different locations into the measurement area along the 6h backward trajectories in the three groups of days during the whole measurement period. The days are sorted into the three groups based on the dominant directions (southerly, north-westerly, and easterly) of trajectories. The white areas represent no trajectories passing the areas.
