1. Basic information about the atmosphere. Composition and vertical division of the atmosphere. 2. Formation of ground-level ozone in the atmosphere. Characteristics of ground-level ozone. Influence of ozone precursor emissions on ozone concentration in the atmosphere. 3. Physical, chemical and biological factors influencing the concentration of ozone in the air. 4. Ozone transport through the atmosphere, ozone sinks and outlets. 5. Atmospheric ozone deposition. Physical, meteorological and chemical processes leading to ozone deposition flux. 6. Atmospheric ozone deposition on a local and regional scale. Atmospheric ozone deposition in the Czech Republic and in the world. 7. Micrometeorological methods for measuring ozone deposition flux. Gradient method. Eddy covariation method. 8. Modeling of total and stomatal ozone flux. Resistance models. Models of stomatal ozone uptake. Ozone transfer models. 9. Evaluation of the impact of ozone on the forest ecosystem. The role of monitoring. Air pollution monitoring and monitoring networks. Ozone pollution limits (AOT40, POD). 10. Influence of stomatal ozone flow on net ecosystem production. 11. Natural and anthropogenic influences on climate change. Impact of climate change on future ozone and reactive nitrogen deposition. 12. Effects of ozone on the forest ecosystem in the context of climate change. 13. Influence of reduction of precursor emissions on ozone concentrations in the years 2030 to 2100. Projection of reduction of NOx and VOC emissions in the Czech Republic. Biogenic emissions of volatile organic compounds.
