Tropical tropospheric ozone and carbon monoxide distributions: characteristics, origins, and control factors, as seen by IAGOS and IASI by M. Tsivlidou, B. Sauvage, Y. Bennouna, R. Blot, D. Boulanger, H. Clark, E. Le Flochmoën, P. Nédélec, V. Thouret, P. Wolff, B. Barret

“…<p>The characteristics and seasonal variability in the tropical tropospheric distributions of ozone (<span class="inline-formula">O₃</span>) and carbon monoxide (CO) were analysed based on in situ measurements provided by the In-service Aircraft for a Global Observing System (IAGOS) programme since 1994 and 2002, respectively, combined with observations from the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding (IASI) instrument on board the MetOp-A satellite since 2008. …”

Air pollution during the 2003 European heat wave as seen by MOZAIC airliners by M. Tressol, C. Ordonez, R. Zbinden, J. Brioude, V. Thouret, C. Mari, P. Nedelec, J.-P. Cammas, H. Smit, H.-W. Patz, A. Volz-Thomas

“…This is due to a combination of factors, such as high temperature and radiation, stagnation of air masses and weak dry deposition, which favour the accumulation of ozone precursors and the build-up of ozone. A negligible role of a stratospheric-origin ozone tracer has been found for the lower troposphere in this study. …”
