abstract = {Assessment of spatial and temporal variation in the impacts
of ozone on human health, vegetation, and climate requires
appropriate metrics. A key component of the Tropospheric
Ozone Assessment Report (TOAR) is the consistent calculation
of these metrics at thousands of monitoring sites globally.
Investigating temporal trends in these metrics required that
the same statistical methods be applied across these ozone
monitoring sites. The nonparametric Mann-Kendall test (for
significant trends) and the Theil-Sen estimator (for
estimating the magnitude of trend) were selected to provide
robust methods across all sites. This paper provides the
scientific underpinnings necessary to better understand the
implications of and rationale for selecting a specific TOAR
metric for assessing spatial and temporal variation in ozone
for a particular impact. The rationale and underlying
research evidence that influence the derivation of specific
metrics are given. The form of 25 metrics (4 for
model-measurement comparison, 5 for characterization of
ozone in the free troposphere, 11 for human health impacts,
and 5 for vegetation impacts) are described. Finally, this
study categorizes health and vegetation exposure metrics
based on the extent to which they are determined only by the
highest hourly ozone levels, or by a wider range of values.
The magnitude of the metrics is influenced by both the
distribution of hourly average ozone concentrations at a
site location, and the extent to which a particular metric
is determined by relatively low, moderate, and high hourly
ozone levels. Hence, for the same ozone time series, changes
in the distribution of ozone concentrations can result in
different changes in the magnitude and direction of trends
for different metrics. Thus, dissimilar conclusions about
the effect of changes in the drivers of ozone variability
(e.g., precursor emissions) on health and vegetation
exposure can result from the selection of different
metrics.},
