How does meteorology/weather influence ozone concentrations? The chemical reaction required to form tropospheric ozone occurs most efficiently on hot, sunny days under stagnant and humid air conditions. High humidity and high temperatures enhance the formation of ozone. Low wind speeds lead to the buildup of high local pollutant concentrations. High winds tend to dilute ozone concentrations locally near sources but they also transport ozone to other locations, often causing high ozone concentrations in areas without large sources of NOx and VOCs.

By Alex Kirby
BBC News Online environment correspondent
The loss of ozone over the Arctic varies widely from year to year, US scientists say. The Arctic ozone loss during the nineties wasn't linked to chlorine - it's been driven by the meteorology
Dr Neil Harris, Eorcu Using data collected by the US space agency (Nasa), they say the amount, timing and pattern of ozone loss all fluctuate. They say their findings will help to show the effectiveness of agreements on limiting ozone depletion. And they should also give scientists a better understanding of what is happening in the Arctic. The research team, which analysed data from the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) on Nasa's Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS), report their findings in the Journal of Geophysical Research, published by the American Geophysical Union. Ozone, a form of oxygen, protects all life on Earth against harmful ultraviolet radiation. Close to the poles it is thinning, largely because of reactions with chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other industrial gases.

A natural balance keeps us well supplied with ozone
Up in the stratosphere , small amounts of ozone are constantly being made by the action of sunlight on oxygen. At the same time, ozone is being broken down by natural processes. The total amount of ozone usually stays constant because its formation and destruction occur at about the same rate. Human activity has recently changed that natural balance. Certain manufactured substances (such as chlorofluorocarbons and hydrochlorofluorocarbons ) can destroy stratospheric ozone much faster than it is formed.
Ozone is a natural sunblock
Go outside on a fine day and feel the sun warm your face. What happens when a cloud passes over? You’ll notice that the cloud takes away some of the heat and light coming from the sun. In much the same way that a cloud blocks the heat on a hot day, the ozone layer in the stratosphere blocks out the sun’s deadly ultraviolet rays. It acts as our planet’s natural sunblock.

    http://www.atmos.umd.edu/~owen/oet_openhouse.html
    PUBLIC EDUCATION In 1996, the Department of Meteorology moved into the newly contructed 4th wing of the Computer and Space Sciences Building. On Dedication Day of this new wing, the two group occupants - Department of Meteorology and Office of Information Technology, organized a public open house to show off earth system science and information technology. Overall design and organization was led by Owen Thompson [Meteorology], Jennifer Fajman [OIT], Daniel (Chip) Denman [OIT], and Ellen Borkowski [OIT]. The open house event was so well received by the visiting public that the team decided to sponsor public open house events each year. The event was dubbed Explore planet UM , and became one of the key centerpieces of the MARYLAND DAY - explore our world campus open house event, commencing in year 2000. The year 2000 event brought some 8000 visitors into the 4-floor activity area of planet UM through its six hour duration. This web site presents an extensive summary of the various activities conducted by the Department of Meteorology during the annual open house events from 1996-2002. Each activity appearing below has active weblinks to further details. DIRECTIONS TO THE LAUNCH CENTER

    This year’s Antarctic ozone hole is the second largest ever observed, according to scientists from NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). The Antarctic ozone “hole” is defined as thinning of the ozone layer over the continent to levels significantly below pre-1979 levels. Ozone blocks harmful ultraviolet “B”rays. Loss of stratospheric ozone has been linked to skin

    HOW METEOROLOGY AFFECTS OZONE FORMATION AND WHY IT MATTERS (INVITED PRESENTATION)
    Sanford Sillman
    University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-2143. .Model-based studies of ozone formation are done for a variety of reasons: to identify the geographical and chemical sources of ozone, identify successful control strategies, and forecast future ozone events. Models for ozone formation often generate reasonable predictions for ozone itself, but it is much more difficult to correctly predict ozone-precursor relationships, or even to know whether those predictions are correct. Meteorological processes affect ozone modeling in many non-obvious ways. Meteorological dispersion affects both the rate of ozone formation and the efficiency of ozone formation per precursor emissions, and can affect the relative importance of different precursors (hydrocarbons vs. NOx). Near-surface meteorology is especially important for interpreting surface measurements of ozone precursors. Proper evaluation of ozone models needs to account for the uncertainties associated with meteorological dispersion AMS Home Page

    Print Preview Meteorology Article View On the File menu, click Print to print the information. Meteorology IV. Structure of the Atmosphere By studying the atmosphere, meteorologists have discovered that it can be divided into a series of layers. Based on a vertical profile of temperature, the layers consist of the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. The lowest layer, the troposphere, is warmed by the earth. Sunlight warms the earth’s surface, and the surface warms the air. Therefore, the warmest air is next to the ground and air temperature normally decreases with height. This pattern of decreasing air temperature with altitude occurs usually up to an altitude of between about 8000 m (about 26,000 ft) at the poles and 16,000 m (about 52,000 ft) at the equator. This region of the lower atmosphere where air temperature normally decreases with height is called the troposphere. The troposphere is kept well stirred by rising and descending air currents. Above the ozone-rich stratosphere lies the mesosphere, where air temperature, again, decreases with height. The mesosphere is the coldest layer of the atmosphere and extends from an altitude of about 50 km to about 85 km (about 30 mi to 50 mi). Above the mesosphere lies the hot thermosphere, where air temperatures can exceed 1000° C (1800° F), primarily due to oxygen absorbing the sun’s energetic rays. Contributed By:

History of Meteorology A Radiosonde A radiosonde measures air temperature, air pressure, and humidity from the earth’s surface up to an altitude of about 30,000 m (about 100,000 ft). The radiosonde consists of a small box attached to a gas-filled balloon. As the balloon rises, a barometer measures air pressure, a thermometer measures temperature, and a hygrometer measures humidity. All of this information is transmitted by radio back to the ground. Special tracking equipment monitors the movement of the radiosonde, and this tracking information is then converted into wind speed and wind direction. When the balloon bursts, the radiosonde descends to the earth by parachute.
