Tropospheric Ozone: Observations, Trends, and Radiative Forcing, Slides of Chemistry

Information on the global distribution of tropospheric ozone, its observed rise over the 20th century, and the radiative forcing by tropospheric ozone. Studies that discuss maximum and minimum values of ozone, the impact of anthropogenic pollution and biomass burning, and the underestimation of observed trends by models. It also explores the potential larger radiative forcing by tropospheric ozone than ipcc values.
