Data are presented as n. Estimates are built on modelled ground-level ozone concentrations based on chemistry-transport calculations using regional climate downscaling (with RCA3) of two different global climate models (ECHAM4 and HadCM3) with two CO₂ emission scenarios (A2 and A1B) in different time-periods. MATCH: model of atmospheric transport and chemistry.
