Routine monitoring stations on the west coast of North America serve to monitor baseline levels of criteria pollutants such as ozone (O 3 ) arriving from the Pacific Ocean. In Canada, the Amphitrite Point Observatory (APO) on Vancouver Island has been added to this network to provide regional baseli...
