Springtime ozone levels above western North America are rising primarily due to air flowing eastward from the Pacific Ocean, a trend that is largest when the air originates in Asia. Tropospheric ozone is an important source of the hydroxyl radical, an oxidant that breaks down most pollutants and some greenhouse gases. Cooper, Ph.D.
