abstract = {Vertical ozone profiles measured in the period 1996-2002 in
the framework of the MOZAIC project (Measurement of Ozone
and Water Vapor by Airbus in Service Aircraft) for flights
connecting Central Europe to the Eastern Mediterranean basin
(Heraklion, Rhodes, Antalya) were analysed in order to
evaluate the high rural ozone levels recorded in the
Mediterranean area during summertime. The 77 flights during
summer (JJAS) showed substantially (10-12 ppb, $20-40\%)$
enhanced ozone mixing ratios in the lower troposphere over
the Eastern Mediterranean frequently exceeding the 60 ppb,
8-h EU air quality standard, whereas ozone between 700 hPa
and 400 hPa was only slightly (3-5 ppb, $5-10\%)$ higher
than over Central Europe. Analysis of composite weather maps
for the high and low ozone cases, as well as
back-trajectories and vertical profiles of carbon monoxide,
suggest that the main factor leading to high tropospheric
ozone values in the area is anticyclonic influence, in
combination with a persistent northerly flow in the lower
troposphere during summertime over the Aegean. On the other
hand the lowest ozone levels are associated with
low-pressure systems, especially the extension of the Middle
East low over the Eastern Mediterranean area.},
