Abstract: Ozone is produced by chemical interactions involving nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds in the presence of sunlight. At high concentrations, ground-level ozone has been shown to be harmful to human health ...

Abstract: The removal of synoptic and seasonal signals from time series of meteorological variables leaves datasets amenable to the study of trends, climate change, and the reasons for such trends and changes. In this paper, four ...

Abstract: To study the underlying forcing mechanisms that distinguish the days with high ozone concentrations from average or nonepisodic days, the observed and model?predicted ozone time series are spectrally decomposed into different ...
