Short summary
Surface ozone can travel far from its sources. In recent decades, emissions of ozone-forming gases have decreased in North America and Europe but risen in Asia, alongside rising global methane levels. Using advanced modeling, this study reveals that while local reductions in nitrogen oxides have lowered summer ozone, increases in ozone production from natural and foreign sources offset these gains. Methane remains important, but its ozone impact has declined with reduced local emissions.
