The research project "Vertical ozone transports in the Alps" (VOTALP), cond
ucted between 1996 and 1998, investigated mechanisms that cause increased o
zone concentrations in the Alps, focusing on vertical transport processes.
The major aim of the project was to deepen our understanding of dynamics an
d chemistry of ozone in mountainous areas. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. A
