42 Urban Photochemistry NO x -VOC Sensitivity to O 3 Production VOC sensitive NOx sensitive Loss(N)/(Loss(N)+Loss(R)) Model NOx (ppbv) Model results along the flight path Megacity points from back trajectories Klienman et al., 2000 Less than 2 day old plumes

43 Urban Photochemistry NO x -VOC Sensitivity Implications VOC limited  Ozone production in the urban plumes is VOC limited  Decrease in NO x may actually increase local O 3 production criteria pollutant  Though at present, NO x is contributing less to local O 3 mixing ratios, it is contributing to local NO 2 mixing ratios (health criteria pollutant) and to O 3 production at downwind sites.
