Our new simulations produce ozone a bit on a high side according to me.
Values over oceans are on the range 35-55 ppbv ( for February 2016) with wide areas in the range near 45-50 ppbv
The boundary condition is based on MOZART model. Anybody knows if MOZART model is biased high for ozone over oceans ? What are the typical values of surface ozone over ocean in winter ?
Thanks in advance
You may be able to extract some values you need from these papers:
Lelieveld et al., Increasing ozone over the Atlantic Ocean, Science 304, 1483, 2004.
Watanabe et al., Measurements of ozone concentrations on a commercial vessel in the marine boundary layer over the northern North Pacific Ocean, J. Geophys. Res., 110, D11310, 2005.
Surface monitoring data from Storhofdi and Heimaey at Iceland + Mace Head (IE) are available (GAW). For model data you could check daily forecasts from MACC-CAMS on the net.
