TLDR
In this paper, an important air quality surveillance network is organized by region, where each region has a number of measurement sites available, and measurement sites show highly correlated variations of daily ozone maxima during the summer periods.About:

TL;DR: The ESCOMPTE program is used to produce a relevant set of data for testing and evaluating regional pollution models, which includes high-resolution (in space and time) atmospheric emission inventories and field experiments, and covers an area of 120 X 120 km, centered over the Marseilles-Berre area in the southeast of France during Summer 2001 as mentioned in this paper.

On the impact of temperature on tropospheric ozone concentration levels in urban environments
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of temperature on ozone concentrations in urban and photochemically polluted areas in the greater Athens region was investigated using a neural network approach, and it was found that temperature is a predominant parameter, affecting considerably the ozone concentration values.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analyses of ozone in urban and rural sites in Málaga (Spain).
TL;DR: Average hourly summer afternoon ozone for the hours 12:00-20:00 LST exceeded the 110 microg m(-3) European Union guidelines for human health for 8 h ozone exposure at the urban and rural sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison between weekend and weekday ozone concentration in large cities in France
Véronique Pont,Jacques Fontan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined ozone data from five large French cities (Marseilles, Lyon, Paris, Strasbourg and Toulouse) in spring and summer over a three-year period to study the possible influence of local primary pollutant emissions.

De Marco,Giacomo Gerosa,Giacomo Lorenzini,Fausto Manes,G. Merola,Cristina Nali,Elena Paoletti,Bruno Petriccione,S. Racalbuto,Gianfranco Rana,Annamaria Ranieri,A. Tagliaferri,G. Vialetto,Marcello Vitale +23 more
TL;DR: Levels, uptake and vegetation response to O3 in Italy over recent years are reviewed to discuss value, uncertainty and feasibility of different approaches to risk assessment and suggest that critical levels based on accumulated stomatal flux (CLe(f)) can be a better predictor of O3 risk than CLe(c).

Relationships between synoptic-scale atmospheric circulation and ozone concentrations in Metropolitan Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Andrew C. Comrie,Brent Yarnal +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a subjective synoptic classification scheme is applied to 10 years' surface ozone (O 3 ) data from the Pittsburgh metropolitan area, focusing on four aspects of the atmospheric circulation-O 3 relationship: average, extreme event, between season and year-to year conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the relationship between high ozone in the rural surface layer and high pressure systems
TL;DR: The relationship of high ozone (ozone in excess of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards) with high pressure systems was examined using data collected in the summer of 1973, 1974 and 1975.

Ozone assessment in the southern part of the Alps
Roberta Vecchi,Gianluigi Valli +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, ozone measurements carried out at six alpine and prealpine sites, located in the Italian region of Central Alps are shown, where stations are placed at altitudes between 800 and 1900 m a.s.

Ground-Level Ozone and Regional Transport of Air Pollutants.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the photochemical air pollution in the lower Great Lakes region of southern Ontario, Canada, using O3 data for 1973-76 inclusive, and found that high O3 concentrations in the boundary layer are correlated primarily with the several meteorological variables in warm seasons: pressure, temperature, radiation, wind speed and direction.
