Processes of Tropospheric Ozone Formation in The Crimean Peninsula

Detailed analysis of factors influencing ozone formation in the atmosphere’s surface layers has been carried out in this paper. The analysis of temperature and humidity effects has showed that, despite the obvious relationship between these parameters and ozone concentration, there are other factors that also effect significantly. In particular, the temperature and humidity dependences do not allow explain with a high degree of reliability a significant short-term increase in tropospheric ozone concentration by more than 70%. The paper authors, as follows from the analysis of biennial data on the content of tropospheric ozone, have noted that the cases of significant surpassing for ozone concentration occur only when winds are eastern, northeastern or southeasterly ones, resulting in proposition on a possible impact of oil spills at the Feodosia commercial seaport, situated at a distance of 16 km from the station.
