Boundary Layer Ozone in Croatia

An analysis of ozone distribution in the atmospheric boundary layer based on monitoring data from two TOR stations in Croatia is given. The levels were found to be generally higher than expected for the continental background. At the Puntijarka station, which can be taken as representative for the region, high values are mainly associated with transport from the west. The RBI station represents an urban site with occasional photosmog situations. Short term measurements along the Adriatic coast have shown that there is a negative north to south gradient in ozone concentration as predicted by model calculations, but also that some local photochemical production takes place even at the remote Adriatic island far from pollution sources.
