The productivity, product quality and competitive ability of important agricultural and
horticultural plants in many regions of the world may be adversely affected by current and …

Chemically active climate compounds are either primary compounds like methane (CH4),
removed by oxidation in the atmosphere, or secondary compounds like ozone (O3), sulfate …

Evaluating multicomponent climate change mitigation strategies requires knowledge of the
diverse direct and indirect effects of emissions. Methane, ozone, and aerosols are linked …

In this paper we evaluate the global impact of surface ozone on four types of agricultural
crop. The study is based on modelled global hourly ozone fields for the year 2000 and 2030 …

Understanding the surface O3 response over a “receptor” region to emission changes over a
foreign “source” region is key to evaluating the potential gains from an international …

The European Aerosol Cloud Climate and Air Quality Interactions project EUCAARI is an EU
Research Framework 6 integrated project focusing on understanding the interactions of …

Carbon dioxide (CO 2) and methane (CH 4) are the two most important anthropogenic
greenhouse gases. SCIAMACHY on ENVISAT is the first satellite instrument whose …

Aerosols are harmful to human health and have both direct and indirect effects on climate.
China is a major contributor to global emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2), a sulfate (SO42−) …

In this second of two companion papers, we quantify for the first time the global impact on
premature mortality of the inter-continental transport of fine aerosols (including sulfate, black …

Background We describe a project to quantify the burden of heat and ozone on mortality in
the UK, both for the present-day and under future emission scenarios. Methods Mortality …
