Tropospheric ozone is one of the pressing problems related to air pollution worldwide and is non-linearly linked to NOx, ROx, and VOC concentrations in ambient air. This work aims to explore trends in surface ozone concentrations on a temporal and spatial scale. Therefore, datasets from urban, suburban and rural areas will be compared that are available from the Umweltbundesamt (UBA), Bayrisches Landesamt for Umwelt (LfU) and the Bayreuth Center of Ecology and Environmental Research (BayCEER) .
