Observed relationships of ozone air pollution with temperature and emissions (2009, background): “The ozone temperature relationship has been investigated in the past [Sillman and Samson, 1995; Sillman, 1999]. However, questions remain regarding how this relationship changes over time, by location, and with precursor emissions. [4] Modeling studies suggest a penalty in ozone air quality resultin”
