Abstract
Two dimensional distributions from photochemical model simulations are presented which show the influence of the various NOX sources from industry, lightning, and the stratosphere on the tropospheric distributions of NOX, HNO3, and O3. It is found that the best agreement with the observation is obtained if the ground level pollution source is included. The influence of the industrial activities in the northern hemisphere may then have led to a doubling of ozone concentrations in the lower troposphere.
