Lightning-Generated Tropospheric Ozone and Earth-System Feedbacks
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee Tropospheric ozone is not merely a byproduct of climate change—it is a critical Earth-system coupling agent that links atmospheric warming, lightning activity, ecosystem health, wildfire dynamics, carbon-cycle disruption, human health, and cryosphere processes into a network of interconnected feedbacks capable of accelerating global warming. The emerging role of ozone […]
