Abstract
Abstract An improved understanding of the global tropospheric ozone budget has recently become of great interest, both in Canada and elsewhere. Improvements in both modelling and measurement have made it possible for weather centres to begin to forecast air quality using numerical weather prediction models. Despite substantial progress, there are many open questions regarding tropospheric ozone photochemistry, long‐range transport and the importance of the stratospheric source; this remains an area of very active research. Since ozone in association with particulate matter causes respiratory problems in humans, trends and forecasting of future surface ozone levels are also of great importance. The current status of measurement and modelling, as well as the current understanding of tropospheric ozone budgets and trends, are reviewed, with an emphasis on Canada within the global context.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
