Role of Deep Cloud Convection in the Ozone Budget of the Troposphere
Open accessAbstract
Convective updrafts in thunderstorms prolong the lifetime of ozone (O 3 ) and its anthropogenic precursor NO x [nitric oxide (NO) + nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 )] by carrying these gases rapidly upward from the boundary layer into a regime where the O 3 production efficiency is higher, chemical destruction is slower, and surface deposition is absent. On the other hand, the upper troposphere is relatively rich in O 3 and NO x from natural sources such as downward transport from the stratosphere and lightning; convective overturning conveys the O 3 and NO x toward the Earth's surface where these components are more efficiently removed from the atmosphere. Simulations with a three-dimensional global model suggest that the net result of these counteractive processes is a 20 percent overall reduction in total tropospheric O 3 . However, the net atmospheric oxidation efficiency is enhanced by 10 to 20 percent.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
