Photochemistry of tropospheric ozoneA photochemical equilibrium model of minor constituent chemistry in the troposphere was constructed to investigate the photochemistry of tropospheric ozone. We find that photochemical production must be supplemented by additional sources to account for observed ozone levels in clean air, while photochemical loss is more important than surface destruction as an ozone loss mechanism. Photochemically produced ozone is sensitive to the NO(x) background in the model, exhibiting a maximum of about 0.5 ppb of NO(x).
