Abstract:Ozone concentrations of a few parts per hundred million (pphm) sometimes occur in urban areas, unaccompanied by significant concentrations of other pollutants. The Santa Ana winds provide an important example of such ozone episodes, for they invariably contain 3 to 6 pphm of ozone with no diurnal variation. The origin of these winds in a large-scale weather system, along with the absence of other pollutants and the lack of a diurnal cycle, indicates that this ozone is of natural origin.
