      abstract     = {This work is an extended evaluation of near surface ozone
                      as part of the global reanalysis of atmospheric composition,
                      produced within the European Funded project MACC (Monitoring
                      Atmospheric Composition and Climate). It includes an
                      evaluation over the period 2003–2012 and provides an
                      overall assessment of the modelling system performance with
                      respect to near surface ozone for specific European
                      subregions. Measurements at rural locations from the
                      European Monitoring and Evaluation Program (EMEP) and the
                      European Air Quality Database (AirBase) were used for the
                      evaluation assessment. The annual overall error of near
                      surface ozone reanalysis is on average $24\%$ over Europe,
                      the highest found over Scandinavia $(27\%)$ and the lowest
                      over the Mediterranean marine stations $(21\%).$ Near
                      surface ozone shows mostly a negative bias in winter and a
                      positive bias during warm months. Assimilation reduces the
                      bias in near surface ozone and its impact is mostly notable
                      in winter. With respect to the seasonal cycle, the MACC
                      reanalysis reproduces the photochemically driven broad
                      spring-summer maximum of surface ozone of central and south
                      Europe. However, it does not capture adequately the early
                      spring peak and the shape of the seasonality at northern and
                      north-eastern Europe. The diurnal range of surface ozone,
                      which is an indication of the local photochemical production
                      processes, is reproduced fairly well, with a tendency for a
                      small overestimation during the warm months for most
                      subregions (especially in central and southern Europe).
                      Possible reasons leading to discrepancies between the MACC
                      reanalysis and observations are discussed.},
