Interactive comment on “ A climatology of surface ozone in the extra tropics : cluster analysis of observations and model results ” by O . A . Tarasova
General comments "A climatology of surface ozone in extra tropics: cluster analysis of observations and model results" presents a useful new analysis of measured ozone concentrations and applies it to evaluate the performance of a global chemistry transport model. This is potentially a valuable contribution but a few points need further consideration. Introduction Some discussion should be incl...
متن کاملA global ozone climatology from ozone soundings via trajectory mapping: a stratospheric perspective
This study explores a domain-filling trajectory approach to generate a global ozone climatology from relatively sparse ozonesonde data. Global ozone soundings comprising 51 898 profiles at 116 stations over 44 yr (1965–2008) are used, from which forward and backward trajectories are calculated from meteorological reanalysis data to map ozone measurements to other locations and so fill in the sp...
متن کاملGlobal Transport of Ozone
The three principal ~chanisD8 for large scale atmospheric transport of tropospheric ozone [injection from the stratosphere, transport from regions of net production in the boundary layer and distribution of °3 precursors resulting from either stratospheric injection or surface emissions] are examined in the light of current observations. While the actual °3 climatology may be much more complex ...
متن کاملA novel tropopause-related climatology of ozone profiles
A new ozone climatology, based on ozonesonde and satellite measurements, spanning the altitude region between the earth’s surface and ∼60 km is presented (TpO3 climatology). This climatology is novel in that the ozone profiles are categorized according to calendar month, latitude and local tropopause heights. Compared to the standard latitude–month categorization, this presentation improves the...
متن کاملThe origin of ozone
Highest atmospheric ozone production rates can be found at around 30 km in the tropical stratosphere, leading to ozone mixing ratios of about 10 ppmv. Those stratospheric air masses are then transported to extra-tropical latitudes via the Brewer-Dobson circulation. This is considered the main mechanism to generate midand high latitude ozone. By applying the climate-chemistry models E39/C and MA...
