How waviness in the circulation changes surface ozone: a viewpoint using local finite-amplitude wave activity

<p>Local finite-amplitude wave activity (LWA) measures the waviness of the local flow. In this work we relate the anticyclonic part of LWA, AWA (anticyclonic wave activity), to surface ozone in summertime over the US on interannual to decadal timescales. Interannual covariance between AWA diag...
