Abstract

Using a radiative transfer model, the sensitivity of tropospheric UV flux and photolysis rates for NO₂ and HNO₂ to variations in cloudiness and stratospheric aerosol scattering are evaluated. A lumped parameter ozone plume model combining photochemistry and diffusion is then utilized to investigate variations in downwind ozone concentrations caused by variations in cloudiness.
