Transatlantic transport of pollution and its effects on surface ozone in Europe and
[1] We examine the transatlantic transport of anthropogenic ozone and its impact on surface ozone in Europe and North America by using a 5-year (1993–1997) simulation with the GEOS-CHEM global three-dimensional model of tropospheric chemistry. Longterm time series of ozone and CO at Mace Head (Irela...
