Over the agricultural regions, more ozone between 60 and 80 ppb was produced. The cooler and wetter conditions with more frequent periods of northwesterly flow during the summer of 2001 were not as favorable for ozone production and did not result in increased ozone, despite the increase in anthropogenic emissions. Increases in ozone exceeding 60 ppb occurred only over the lake surfaces and in central Michigan when the meteorological conditions of the summer of 2001 were applied. For both summers, increases in anthropogenic emissions decreased ozone exposure in the immediate vicinity of the largest metropolitan areas. Since anthropogenic emission rate projections depend on assumptions of population, economic development, land-use patterns, and technology, the effect of anthropogenic emission rates on the magnitude and regional-scale distribution of ozone concentrations could be much larger or smaller than indicated by this study. In a subsequent study, the simulated ozone will be used as input to biological models to assess the response of ozone-sensitive tree species in the Great Lakes region to ozone levels produced by various anthropogenic emission scenarios.]]> Tue, 19 Sep 2006 11:12:44 CDT http://ncrs.fs.fed.us/pubs/5901 Fri, 15 Sep 2006 15:40:07 CDT http://ncrs.fs.fed.us/pubs/5880 Sat, 9 Sep 2006 07:59:05 CDT http://ncrs.fs.fed.us/pubs/5763 Thu, 24 Aug 2006 10:29:42 CDT
