Learning is an iterative process.
So, if you are not sure about your answer, dont hesitate to visit the info boxes or plates using the following shortcuts:
Aircraft NOx
Aircraft Ozone
Road Traffic NOx
Road Traffic Ozone
Vocabulary:

Please try to answer the following questions
- Is there a dependency between NOx and ozone air pollution?
- Can you explain roughly what NOx emissions effect in the air?
- . . . and in the model?
- Look at the station records of "aircraft ozone":
Why is there a significant concentration in Mainz at ground level whereas no plane exhausts any
NOx right there?
- Assuming all trafic was stopped whithin one moment:
What would happen to "traffic ozone" production?
- What is the major ozone source in the upper troposphere?
- Why was Road Traffic NOx distribution only simulated over 13 months?
- What is called "summer smog"?
- Which simplification does this model distribution not allow to simulate "summer smog"?
- Why / how does the PBL "breath"?
- What causes the "breathing" of the hemispheric air volume?
- And finally: How would you describe the role and defend the inalienability of numerical models in (atmospheric) science - despite inherent lacks and shortcomings?
