| dc.description.abstract | It is found from model simulations of trace gas and meteorological data from aircraft campaigns that deep convection may enhance the potential for photochemical ozone production in the middle and upper troposphere by up to a factor of 60. Examination of half a dozen individual convective episodes show that the degree of enhancement is highly variable. Factors affecting enhancement include boundary layer NOₓ mixing ratios, differences in the strength and structure of convective cells, as well as variation in the amount of background pollution already in the free troposphere. | |
