Abstract
The meteorological conditions occurring during measurements of ozone at four nonurban locations in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia are examined for their influence upon the ozone concentrations at the synoptic time and space scale. Air parcel trajectories at the 900 mb level for the forty-eight hours prior to arrival at each location were examined for the possible influence of transport across urban-industrial areas on the measured non-urban ozone. Time-altitude sections of potential temperature and stability from the ground to 5 km at four nearby rawinsonde locations showed that major anomalies in the vertical structure of the lower troposphere are important to the occurrences of high ozone concentrations. A regression analysis of twelve-hour average ozone concentrations as a function of properties of the mixed layer showed that the mean mixing ratio of the layer in the most significant variable of the eight shown. The mixing depth is the next most significant. Average hourly ozone concentrations did not exceed 160 micrograms/cum when the maximum daily temperature was less than 16.5C.
