EUROTRAC-TOR
Definition
- The EUROTRAC-TOR programme was set up to study and quantify the underlying chemical and transport processes of importance for the occurrence of photochemical oxidants in Europe. The project, which lasted from 1988-1995, involved establishing advanced monitoring sites, monitoring for a number of years and evaluation of the data, including modelling. All data are freely available to other scientists, provided that proper credit is given to the people responsible for the data. Name and adress for the responsibles are given in the data files. The scientific aims of TOR were: 1.To elucidate the chemistry and transport of ozone and other photo-oxidants in the troposphere 2.To determine and model trends in concentration of photo-oxidants; 3.To measure the excess ozone concentration Europe relative to the average of northern mid-latitudes, and to study its seasonal, latitudinal and vertical variation; 4.To try to measure any transfer of ozone between the boundary layer and the free troposphere, and between the troposphere and the stratosphere.
