Working Paper
This content is a preprint and has not undergone peer review at the time of posting.

Abstract

In March and April 2020, the South Coast Air Basin of California (USA) experienced noticeable declines in on-road activity and primary traffic-related pollutant emissions. However, secondary ozone concentration trends were not consistent across the basin. This research letter explores the impact of meteorology and emissions during this time period. The study elucidates the potential impacts on ozone nonattainment status for the region.
