Causes of growing middle-to-upper tropospheric ozone over the northwest Pacific region by X. Ma, X. Ma, J. Huang, J. Huang, M. I. Hegglin, M. I. Hegglin, P. Jöckel, T. Zhao

“…This study aims to address these gaps by analyzing O<span class="inline-formula">₃</span> soundings at four sites along the northwestern Pacific coastal region over the past 3 decades and by assessing their consistency with an atmospheric chemistry–climate model simulation. Utilizing the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Hamburg (ECHAM)/Modular Earth Submodel System (MESSy) Atmospheric Chemistry (EMAC) nudged simulations, it is demonstrated that trends between model and ozonesonde measurements are overall consistent, thereby gaining confidence in the model's ability to simulate O<span class="inline-formula">₃</span> trends and confirming the utility of potentially imperfect observational data. …”
