Summary
Model calculations of atmospheric boundary layer ozone formation to a remote European site (Langesund in South Norway) and a rural site not far from Major emissions (Bottesford in the southern part of the United Kingdom) show that ozone and the emission of N0x along the trajectories are correlated at Langesund and not correlated at Bottesford. This suggests that in central Europe, ozone formation is suppressed by high N0x emissions, while 500–1000 km downwind of the sources, the N0x emissions enhance the formation of ozone.
