Abstract
  • At the surface, tropospheric ozone is an air pollutant that adversely impacts human health, natural vegetation and crop yield and quality. This important trace gas also plays key roles as a greenhouse gas, and as the primary source of the hydroxyl (OH) radical, which determines the lifetime of many other trace gases in the atmosphere. Tropospheric ozone has a variety of sources including photochemical production from anthropogenic and naturally occurring precursor gases, and transport from the stratosphere. As a result of its high reactivity and its wide range of sources, ozone’s lifetime can vary from minutes in the polluted boundary layer to several weeks in the mid- and upper troposphere.
