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

[Rudolf Husar]

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.
