Description:Satellite-based measurements of the column CH 2O/NO 2ratio have previously been used to estimate near-surface ozone (O 3) sensitivity (i.e., NO xor VOC limited), and the forthcoming launch of air quality-focused geostationary satellites provides a catalyst for reevaluating the ability of satellite-measured CH2O/NO 2to be used in this manner. In this study, we use a 0-D photochemical box model to evaluate O 3 sensitivity and find that the relative rate of radical termination from radical-radical interactions to radical-NO x interactions (referred to as LRO x/LNO x) provides a good indicator of maximum O 3production along NO x ridgelines. Using airborne measurements from NASA ’s Deriving Information on Surface Conditions from
