Abstract

Ozone of troposphere plays a significant role in regulating the atmospheric dynamics. It is identified that the tropospheric ozone trap the heat in the atmosphere and tend to an increase in the air temperatures which in turn lead to diseases, air pollution etc. This article is an attempt to understand not only the spatial variations of ozone over India but also to asses the role of variations of ozone in troposphere with temperature. The correlation and regression analysis is applied for the air temperature and tropospheric ozone to examine the severity.
