Coastal regions are frequently subject to higher concentrations of ozone (O3) than areas farther inland due to thermally-direct recirculation (e.g., sea/bay breezes) of pollutants during summer months. Along with high O3 concentrations on polluted days, a bay breeze (in this case, the Chesapeake Bay...
