Remote sensing and global tropospheric ozone observed dynamics

The development of remote sensing techniques to obtain measurements of ozon e and its precursors from the Earth's surface to the tropopause is consider ed, to present a review on the current achievements in measuring tropospher ic ozone variability. Special attention is given to the surface ozone conce ntration observations, to the production and destruction mechanisms of ozon e in both the atmospheric boundary layer and the free troposphere, and fina lly to ozone exchange through the tropopause.
