Tropospheric Ozone Assessment Report
Our understanding of the processes that control the burden and budget of tropospheric ozone has changed dramatically over the last 60 years. Models are the key tools used to...- publication PDF

Using transport diagnostics to understand chemistry climate model ozone simul...
We use observations of N₂O and mean age to identify realistic transport in models in order to explain their ozone predictions. The results are applied to 15 chemistry climate...- publication PDF
