The Effects of Tropospheric Ozone on Net Primary Productivity and Implications for Climate Change: Supplemental Video 1

A supplemental video from the 2012 review by Elizabeth A. Ainsworth, Craig R. Yendrek, Stephen Sitch, William J. Collins, and Lisa D. Emberson, "The Effects of Tropospheric Ozone on Net Primary Productivity and Implications for Climate Change," from the Annual Review of Plant Biology.

This animation shows surface ozone images from real-time simulations of MOZART-4 available for chemical forecasts. Estimates of surface ozone concentrations are provided at 6 hr time intervals from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011. The Model for Ozone and Related chemical Tracers, version 4 (MOZART-4) is a global chemical transport model for the troposphere, driven by offline meteorology, and is fully described in Emmons et al. (2). These forecasts are driven by meteorology from National Centers for Environmental Prediction Global Forecast System and use fire emissions updated daily with MODIS fire counts (available from the University of Maryland).
