A term used to distinguish ozone present in the troposphere from the more commonly talked about stratospheric ozone layer. Tropospheric ozone results from transport from the stratosphere and from photochemical production (oxidation of carbon monoxide, methane, and other hydrocarbons). In remote regions of the troposphere, production and loss of ozone are nearly in balance, while in regions impacted by anthropogenic NO x and hydrocarbon emissions, net ozone production occurs.

The troposphere extends to between 10 and 18 kilometers above the surface of the Earth and consists of many layers. Ozone is more concentrated above the mixing layer, or ground layer. Ground-level ozone, though less concentrated than ozone aloft, is more of a problem because of its health effects.

Tropospheric ozone is a greenhouse gas and initiates the chemical removal of methane and other hydrocarbons from the atmosphere thus its concentration affects how long these compounds remain in the air.

Satellites can measure tropospheric ozone. Measurements specifically of ground-level ozone require in-situ monitoring technology.

and hey, u've told a lot about ozone formation urself.....(in the question)
