Tropospheric Ozone: Distribution and Sources

  • Chapter
Global Atmospheric Chemical Change

Abstract

One of the most active research areas of tropospheric chemistry is the study of the processes responsible for the formation and destruction of ozone. This interest is derived from the three-fold importance of ozone in the troposphere.
