Show moreSurface level ozone, or tropospheric ozone, is a common pollutant and can cause harm to a wide variety of plant species. Observing and analyzing ozone concentrations and foliar damage jointly over time provides the possibility to predict plant damage as a function of ozone concentration. This technical report is a 1st step towards this goal and presents an overview and exploratory analysis of several datasets of surface level ozone concentrations and foliar damage from the National Center for Atmospheric Research and the St. Louis Science Center.
