«Enhanced
ozone production in urban areas is a concern because of the population size potentially impacted and because air pollution levels could be already elevated due to local and mobile sources,» explains Larsen.
Changes in vertical transport within the troposphere are also important, in view of the rapid increase in both
ozone production efficiency and ozone lifetime with altitude.
The leaking gas wastes resources,
enhances ozone production, and exacerbates global warming — not to mention powering the city's infamous exploding manholes.
Verstraeten, WW, Neu, JL, Williams, JE, Bowman, KW, Worden, JR and Boersma, KF 2015 Rapid increases in
tropospheric ozone production and export from China.
Recently,
additional ozone production mechanisms have been proposed to resolve the ozone deficit problem, which arises from greater ozone destruction than production in several photochemical models of the upper stratosphere and lower mesosphere.
Ozone production rates dropped by up to 50 percent in six years, Cohan and his colleagues found in a follow - up study (pdf).
Ozone production requires something that is not oxygen, to hold onto a single oxygen atom for some period of time, until an oxygen molecule can come along and become ozone.
Solomon (1982) and others show how this atomic oxygen is also pumped down to lower levels to further
assist ozone production, the downward mechanism coming from eddy diffusion.
The effect
of ozone production is still uncertain, and as in the TAR, it is included by enhancing the net of the direct and the lifetime effect by 25 %.
«We are investigating the processes that influence
the ozone production,» Dr. Wang says.
«More specifically, different colors (or wavelengths) of ultraviolet light can affect oxygen and
ozone production and destruction in different ways.»
We are investigating the processes that influence
the ozone production.
The UV [and Xrays] and
ozone production will be down when we are looking into a dark coronal hole.
The associated weaker levels of EUV will impact on the Thermosphere and
ozone production.
On the other hand, injection of NOx to the upper troposphere greatly increases
its ozone production efficiency.
The file contains Supplementary Text on the 2D Model, MLS ozone data analysis and
Ozone production and destruction rates.
What's more, kudzu is also a prolific emitter of the biological hydrocarbon isoprene, another chemical implicated in
ozone production.
Finally, hydrogen can lead to
ozone production and CH 4 increases as well as producing water vapor in the stratosphere.
