Ozone pollution around a coastal region of South China Sea: interaction between marine and continental air [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018 Marine atmosphere is usually considered to be a clean environment, but this study indicates that the near-coast waters of the South China Sea (SCS) suffer from even worse air quality than coastal cities.
