                      to characterize the surface O-3 response to year-to-year
                      fluctuations in weather, for the purpose of evaluating
                      global chemistry-climate models. We first produce a monthly
                      climatology for each site over all available years, defined
                      as the slope of the best-fit line (m(O3-T)) between monthly
                      average values of maximum daily 8-hour average (MDA8) O-3
                      and monthly average values of daily maximum surface
                      temperature (T-max). Applying two distinct statistical
                      approaches to aggregate the site-specific measurements to
                      the regional scale, we find that summer time m(O3-T) is 3-6
                      ppb K-1 (r = 0.5-0.8) over the Northeast, 3-4 ppb K-1 (r =
                      0.5-0.9) over the Great Lakes, and 3-6 ppb K-1 (r = 0.2-0.8)
                      over the Mid-Atlantic. The Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
                      Laboratory (GFDL) Atmospheric Model version 3 (AM3) global
                      chemistry-climate model generally captures the seasonal
                      variations in correlation coefficients and m(O3-T) despite
                      biases in both monthly mean summertime MDA8 O-3 (up to +10
                      to +30 ppb) and daily T-max (up to +5 K) over the eastern
                      US. During summer, GFDL AM3 reproduces m(O3-T) over the
                      Northeast (m(O3-T) = 2-6 ppb K-1; r = 0.6-0.9), but
                      underestimates m(O3-T) by 4 ppb K-1 over the Mid-Atlantic,
                      in part due to excessively warm temperatures above which O-3
                      production saturates in the model. Combining T-max biases in
                      GFDL AM3 with an observation-based m(O3-T) estimate of 3 ppb
                      K-1 implies that temperature biases could explain up to 5-15
                      ppb of the MDA8 O-3 bias in August and September though
                      correcting for excessively cool temperatures would worsen
                      the O-3 bias in June. We underscore the need for long-term,
                      coincident measurements of air pollution and meteorological
                      variables to develop process-level constraints for
                      evaluating chemistry-climate models used to project air
                      quality responses to climate change. Published by Elsevier
