Clouds, photolysis and regional tropospheric ozone budgets
We use a three-dimensional chemical transport model to examine the shortwave radiative effects of clouds on the tropospheric ozone budget. In addition to looking at changes in global concentrations as previous studies have done, we examine changes in ozone chemical production and loss caused by clouds and how these vary in different parts of the troposphere. On a global scale, we find that clou...
متن کاملImpact of the isoprene photochemical cascade on tropical ozone
Tropical tropospheric ozone affects Earth’s radiative forcing and the oxidative capacity of the atmosphere. Considerable work has been devoted to the study of the processes controlling its budget. Yet, large discrepancies between simulated and observed tropical tropospheric ozone remain. Here, we characterize some of the mechanisms by which the photochemistry of isoprene impacts the budget of t...
متن کاملGlobal simulation of tropospheric O3-NOx-hydrocarbon chemistry 2. Model evaluation and global ozone budget
Results from a global three-dimensional model for tropospheric O3-NOx-hydrocarbon chemistry are presented and evaluated with surface, ozonesonde, and aircraft measurements. Seasonal variations and regional distributions of ozone, NO, peroxyacetylnitrate (PAN), CO, ethane, acetone, and H2O2 are examined. The model reproduces observed NO and PAN concentrations to within a factor of 2 for a wide r...
متن کاملAir Pollution and Tropospheric Processes
Nonmethane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) play an important role in the atmosphere. Photochemical oxidation of hydrocarbons leads to ozone (O3), organic acid, and carbon dioxide (CO2) production, with major implications for local and regional air quality, acid deposition, and the greenhouse effect. In addition, emissions of atmospheric NMHCs lead to an increased aerosol loading, which has major implicati...
متن کاملThe tropospheric ozone problem.
Derived from measurements it has been concluded that in the last hundred years the ground-based ozone concentration has risen by about a factor of two. Models also show a doubling of the tropospheric ozone content due to human activities. It is very likely that mean ozone concentration will further increase. In contrast, episodes with excess ozone levels ("summer smog") have become rare in Cent...
