About TOAR
Our Mission
The Tropospheric Ozone Assessment Report (TOAR) aims to provide the research community with an up-to-date scientific assessment of tropospheric ozone’s global distribution and trends from the surface to the tropopause.
This includes the production of tropospheric ozone assessment reports based on the peer-reviewed literature and new analyses as well as the provision of easily accessible,
documented data on ozone mixing ratios, exposure and dose metrics at thousands of measurement sites around the world,
and links to quality assessed data sources of free tropospheric ozone at the TOAR data portal. All TOAR data are freely accessible for research on the global-scale impact of ozone on climate,
human health and crop/ecosystem productivity.
Organization
TOAR is a science effort initiated by
IGAC, and developed by an international team of more than 200 experts from over 35 countries.
TOAR receives financial and logistical support from IGAC, Forschungszentrum Jülich, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
and the World Meteorological Organization (an agency of the United Nations).
The
Jülich Supercomputing Centre at
Forschungszentrum Jülich maintains and operates the central data infrastructure for TOAR.
