The frequent overstepping of ozone boundary thresholds and the ensuing discussions as to whether and in what way regional measures designed to limit emissions of ozone precursers could contribute to a reduction in ozone production were to starting point for a measuring project initiated by the governments of the two federal states in the Berlin-Brandenburg region. The structure of emissions in the region and the latter's weak orographic structure, with comparatively simple air current patterns, make this region a nearly ideal area for an investigation of the links between ozone formation and emission of ozone precursors. The purpose of the project was in the first instance to improve knowledge of the chemical and meteorological processes which cause the formation of high ozone concentrations, and also to assess the effectiveness of regional emissions-reducing measures by means of photochemical model calculations.
