[ESIP-AQ] Earth Observatory image of the day on ozone precursors in the U.S.

Rudy,


I made a similar comment to Ernie H. when he presented this information
at the ESIP meeting.    But it really is good information and pretty
insightful.  The beauty of it is the availability of consistent data to
construct the images.

Well, there is a bit more to the ozone formation than the
Formaldehyde/NO2 ratio. Formaldehyde is just one of the organic reaction
products, mostly from isoprene emission by trees.  Most organics in the
Eastern US are urban/industrial.

Still, the CH2O/NO2 ratio is useful for the study of ozone from natural
emissions.
