Regional and Temporal Models for Ozone Along the Gulf Coast

  • Chapter
Case Studies in Environmental Statistics

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Statistics ((LNS,volume 132))

Abstract

The studies described in the previous chapter focused on estimating trends in a daily ozone summary having adjusted for the relationship of surface ozone concentrations to meteorology. Moreover, the analysis was largely restricted to the Chicago urban area. This chapter contrasts this narrow scope by studies that:

  • model the entire day’s ozone profile rather than its maximum;

  • relate ozone levels to specific weather patterns;

  • characterize the ozone field at different spatial scales from urban to regional.
