      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 modeling 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 fractional gross 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 in most of the European
                      subregions – with the exception of Britain and Ireland and
                      the Iberian Peninsula 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 as 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.},
