Multi-scale modeling study of the source contributions to near-surface ozone and sulfur oxides levels over California during the ARCTAS-CARB period [PDF]
Chronic high surface ozone (O_3) levels and the increasing sulfur oxides (SO_x = SO_2 + SO_4) ambient concentrations over South Coast (SC) and other areas of California (CA) are affected by both local emissions and long-range transport.

Determining the Maritime Domain Boundaries and Maritime Domain Cadastre - Issues and dilemmas
The paper explains the issue of establishing a maritime domain cadastre and the importance of establishing the boundaries of maritime domain. Particular importance is given to the clear definition of the concept of maritime domain in order to make it clear what area can be declared a maritime domain and why and what is its spatial coverage. Legislation
