I’m going to start my response with a quote from a 20-year-old paper: “GWP values cannot easily be developed for all substances known to have an impact on climate. Calculations of GWPs for some species are problematic and controversial, notably substances whose chemical lifetime is shorter than the time for homogeneous mixing in the troposphere” (Fuglestvedt et al. 2003. https://doi.org/10.1023/A:1023905326842). All three of the molecules you mentioned have short atmospheric lifetimes, which may be part of the reason that their GWPs aren’t easy to find.

That said, Chapter 8 in the 2013 IPCC Working Group I synthesis report (Myhre et al. 2013. Anthropogenic and Natural Radiative Forcing, https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar5/wg1/) has some information that you might find useful (there also may be updated information in the 2023 IPCC synthesis report). Specifically, I suggest that Section 8.7.2.2 (Metrics for Near-term Climate Forcing), Table 8.A.3 (for NOx), and Table 8.A.4 (for CO) will be particularly helpful. I was particularly struck by the high geographic variability in the GWPs for NOx, which is probably related to its short atmospheric lifetime.

I did not see similar text or tables about ozone, which I suspect is because the radiative effects of ozone are included in the GWPs for molecules such as CO and NOx. In support of this, I note that Section 8.7.2.2 in the same IPCC chapter says, “Metric values for NOX usually include the short-lived ozone effect, CH4 changes and the CH4-controlled O3 response” and “Emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) lead to production of ozone on short time scales. By affecting OH and thereby the levels of CH4 they also initiate a positive long-term ozone effect.” I’m getting outside my direct area of expertise here, but it seems that using GWPs for O3, CO, and NOx could result in some “double-counting” of the climate impacts of these gases.

Good luck with your paper.

Criterion air pollutants like Carbon Monoxide (CO), Ozone (O3), and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) are not typically evaluated in terms of GWPs. They are primarily assessed for their adverse effects on human health and the environment, rather than their contribution to global warming.

To provide some information about these pollutants:

While these pollutants have detrimental effects on human health and the environment, their influence on global warming is secondary to greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), which are assigned GWPs due to their long-lasting presence in the atmosphere and ability to trap heat.

Hope it helps
