Do stratosphere-to-troposphere (STT) and transport from Asia contribute to high springtime O3 in Clark County, NV?
How do these contributions compare to local production and regional transport from Los Angeles or wildfires?

Negative correlations before each LVOS exceedance day.
Dry air before each LVOS exceedance day.
No significant wildfire contributions to LVOS exceedance days.

Stratospheric air before each LVOS exceedance.
Asian pollution contributes to first and last exceedances.
No significant wildfire contributions to LVOS exceedance days.

• STT contributed to all three O3 NAAQS exceedances during LVOS.
• Exceedances will become more frequent in Clark County if the NAAQS is lowered.
• Much of the Intermountain West will be unable to meet stricter O3 standards.
