abstract = {The anthropogenic ozone budget is investigated in remote
regions with respect to the influence of emissions of VOC
and NO., at source regions, and with regard to the relative
roles of ozone formation in the polluted boundary layer
(PBL) and in the free troposphere (FT). The investigation
makes use of airborne measurements aboard the United Kingdom
Meteorological Office (UKMO) C-130 Hercules aircraft
obtained during the European project TACIA (Testing
Atmospheric Chemistry in Anticyclones) and the UK project
ACSOE (Atmospheric Chemistry Studies in Oceanic
Environment). High resolution measurements ofCO as a
quasi-inert tracer of anthropogenic emissions were made and
interpreted . The experimental investigations of
anthropogenic plumes in the planetary boundary layer (TACIA)
and the remote free troposphere (ACSOE) are interpreted by
heuristic model calculations . The model set-up, with
modules for transport and chemistry, allows for a separation
of these processes in the analysis. The transport module in
combination with the CO observations is shown to be a useful
tool for the analysis of emissions and transport .
Convective transport into the free troposphere is identified
by combination of the transport module with satellite data.
The interpretation of observations distant from the source
regions, with respect to the influence of anthropogenic VOC
and NO, emissions on the ozone formation in a plume, is made
by an indirect inverse modelling approach. The method
involves extensive sensitivity studies regarding various
initial VOC and NO,, concentrations, in an EKMA framework.
Despite the large degree of abstraction, the results of EKMA
plot calculations can be compared to the measurements with
the help ofCO as emission tracer and enable the dependency
of the observed 03 on anthropogenic VOC and NO,, emissions
to be analysed. A central point of this study is the use of
statistical test methods for the analysis of the
significance of deviations between model results and
measurements . Sensitivity studies, regarding the dependence
of model results on the variability of input parameters, are
analysed with respect to confidence regions of the
observations . With these means, the following general
conclusions regarding ozone formation in continental plumes
transported into source free maritime areas are obtained:
The layers of enhanced CO and 03 in the FT, observed during
ACSOE flight A575, can only partly be explained by in-situ
production of ozone in the FT. Higher 03 production
efficiencies on a per-molecule basis of NO,, in the FT
compared to the PBL are found to be compensated by the
reduced NO, availability in the free troposphere, related to
CO. PBL-produced 03 is found not only to be important close
to source regions, but also for long range transport within
the FT in connection with cloud venting, where it
contributes to the tropospherc budget of ozone. The 03
formation within the PBL depends on a multitude of
parameters. It is shown for the example of the TACIA flight
A581, that the natural variability and uncertainties of
these parameters are still too high for an unambiguous
interpretation of observed 03 formation in a continental
plume with respect to anthropogenic NQ, and VOC emissions.
This complicates the task of estimating the influence of
export of pollutionderived ozone and its precursors on the
remote troposphere .},
