Global tropospheric ozone modelling : quantifying errors due to grid resolution. [PDF]
Ozone production in global chemical models is dependent on model resolution because ozone chemistry is inherently nonlinear, the timescales for chemical production are short, and precursors are artificially distributed over the spatial scale of the model

Radiative forcing since preindustrial times due to ozone change in the troposphere and the lower stratosphere [PDF]
Changes in atmospheric ozone have occurred since the preindustrial era as a result of increasing anthropogenic emissions. Within ACCENT, a European Network of Excellence, ozone changes between 1850 and 2000 are assessed for the troposphere and the lower ...

The underestimated role of stratosphere-to-troposphere transport on tropospheric ozone [PDF]
Abstract. The atmospheric composition is strongly influenced by changing atmospheric dynamics, in potential relation to climate change. A prominent example is the doubling of the stratospheric ozone component at the summit station Zugspitze (2962 m a.s.l., Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany) between the mid-seventies and 2005, roughly from 11 ppb to 23 ...

Trends of ozone in the troposphere [PDF]
Using a set of selected surface ozone (nine stations) and ozone vertical profile measurements (from six stations), we have documented changes in tropospheric ozone at a number of locations. From two stations at high northern hemisphere (NH) latitudes there has been a significant decline in ozone amounts throughout the troposphere since the early 1980s.

Formation of Ozone in the tropospheric
Tropospheric ozone (O3) is formed via transport from stratospheric O3 and by oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the presence of NOx (NO + NO2). In fact, presence of NOx is important in formation of O3. In the presence of VOCs and NOx, chlorine atoms also play a role in the formation of tropospheric O3. Monitoring

A mobile differential absorption lidar to measure sub-hourly fluctuation of tropospheric ozone profiles in the Baltimore–Washington, D.C. region [PDF]
Tropospheric ozone profiles have been retrieved from the new ground-based National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center TROPospheric OZone DIfferential Absorption Lidar (GSFC TROPOZ DIAL) in Greenbelt, MD (38.99° N, 76 ...

Natural and anthropogenic influence on tropospheric ozone variability over the Tropical Atlantic unveiled by satellite, reanalyses and in situ observations [PDF]
Tropospheric ozone over the South and Tropical Atlantic plays an important role in the photochemistry and energy budget of the atmosphere. In this remote region, tropospheric ozone estimates from reanalysis datasets show the largest discrepancies.
