abstract = {Extracting globally representative trend information from
lower tropospheric ozone observations is extremely difficult
due to the highly variable distribution and interannual
variability of ozone, and the ongoing shift of ozone
precursor emissions from high latitudes to low latitudes.
Here we report surface ozone trends at 27 globally
distributed remote locations (20 in the Northern Hemisphere,
7 in the Southern Hemisphere), focusing on continuous time
series that extend from the present back to at least 1995.
While these sites are only representative of less than
$25\%$ of the global surface area, this analysis provides a
range of regional long-term ozone trends for the evaluation
of global chemistry-climate models. Trends are based on
monthly mean ozone anomalies, and all sites have at least 20
years of data, which improves the likelihood that a robust
trend value is due to changes in ozone precursor emissions
and/or forced climate change rather than naturally occurring
climate variability. Since 1995, the Northern Hemisphere
sites are nearly evenly split between positive and negative
ozone trends, while 5 of 7 Southern Hemisphere sites have
positive trends. Positive trends are in the range of 0.5–2
ppbv decade–1, with ozone increasing at Mauna Loa by
roughly $50\%$ since the late 1950s. Two high elevation
Alpine sites, discussed by previous assessments, exhibit
decreasing ozone trends in contrast to the positive trend
observed by IAGOS commercial aircraft in the European lower
free-troposphere. The Alpine sites frequently sample
polluted European boundary layer air, especially in summer,
and can only be representative of lower free tropospheric
ozone if the data are carefully filtered to avoid boundary
layer air. The highly variable ozone trends at these 27
surface sites are not necessarily indicative of free
tropospheric trends, which have been overwhelmingly positive
since the mid-1990s, as shown by recent studies of
ozonesonde and aircraft observations.},
