Severe ozone air pollution in the Persian Gulf region

Severe ozone air pollution in the Persian Gulf region

Recently it was discovered that over the Middle East during summer ozone mixing ratios can reach a pronounced maximum in the middle troposphere. Here we extend the analysis to the surface and show that especially in the Persian Gulf region conditions are highly favorable for ozone air pollution. We...
