Numerical simulations of the wind flow and ozone formation during the Heilbronn ozone experiment

The “Heilbronn Ozone Experiment” was performed in the period 23–26 June 1994 with the intention to investigate if peak ozone concentrations during summer smog periods may be reduced by the aid of short term local scale interventions. The measures taken were estimated to lead to reductions of road traffic emissions in the study area by up to 40%. With regard to industrial emissions only smaller reductions were achieved.
