Description:Stratospheric intrusions are an important source of ozone (O3) in the troposphere. In this study, 17 years of O3 sounding data from the Hong Kong Observatory with a weekly sampling frequency are analyzed to identify stratospheric intrusions and quantify their impact on O3 enhancement events in springtime from 2004 to 2020. 24.7% of O3 enhancement events are related to stratospheric intrusion whereas 31.7% of intrusions lead to the enhancement of O3 in the lower troposphere. Occurrences of stratospheric intrusion in springtime are closely related to tropopause folding and tropospheric convective activities in subtropical regions. The Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with
