Spatio-temporal assessment of nocturnal surface ozone in Malaysia

Abstract

This study aims to determine the level and potential sources of nocturnal surface ozone (NSO) in different regions in Malaysia. Eleven-year (2005-2015) ozone data from 37 continuous air quality monitoring stations throughout Malaysia have been analysed to determine spatio-temporal variations in NSO concentrations. NSO daily maximum concentrations from different regions in Malaysia were used for seasonal variation analysis while linear regression and the Mann-Kendall trend test were used for the annual variation analysis.
