Satellite method provides insight into ozone-NOx-VOCs sensitivity for different locations

Green Car Congress

We use the GEOS-Chem global chemical transport model to evaluate the quantitative utility of FNR observed from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument over three northern midlatitude source regions. This transition means that future NO x reductions will likely further decrease ozone production, said Jin. —Jin et al.
