Distribution and Behavior of Tropospheric Ozone

Fishman and Crutzen (1978a,b) have combined data from the North American Ozonesonde Network with observations at other stations in the northern and southern hemisphere to derive an approximate meridional 

Early aircraft measurements of vertical ozone profiles were reviewed by Junge (1963). Owing to the great variability of ozone, isolated aircraft 

Routhier et al. (1980) have reported midtropospheric mixing ratios of ozone at latitudes between 58°S and 70°N over the Pacific ocean and the North American continent. An interpolation of this set of data is included in Fig. 5-7. 

The mesoscale transport of urban plumes carrying ozone precursor substances into rural and clean air regions has become a well-studied issue (Coffey and Stassink, 1975 Cleveland et al, 1976 Dimitriades and Altshuller, 1976 Robinson, 1977 Wolff et al., 1977). The evidence indicates
