Abstract
Geographical sources of surface ozone in five Spanish EMEP stations are stu died using the air mass trajectories that arrive at the stations together w ith the CPFs (Conditional Probability Functions). Results show that regions with strong NOx emissions placed far away the stations are the main source s of ozone in Spain. So, the center of Europe and the middle Mediterranean area are the two main geographical sources of surface ozone in Spain. (C) 1 999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
