title = "Filtering the effects of meteorology on ambient ozone concentrations",
abstract = "Since the changes in ambient ozone concentrations due to changes in meteorological conditions are much greater than those due to changes in ozone precursor emissions, it is difficult to assess the effectiveness of policy in improving ozone air quality. The purpose of this study is to improve upon previous methods for removing the effects of meteorology from ambient ozone concentrations. Techniques presented here include the separation of air quality and meteorological time series data into long-term, seasonal, and short-term components. The effectiveness and usefulness of various methods of filtration in cleanly separating the data into these components is examined. Correlations between the `baseline' (long-term plus seasonal) components of ozone concentrations and meteorological variables are then investigated. The approach suggested here can be used to remove effects of the dominant meteorological variables from ozone concentrations to construct meteorologically-adjusted ozone time series. The analysis of the meteorologically-adjusted ozone time series will then enable us to track and the progress and assess the effectiveness of regulatory controls on ambient ozone air quality.",
