Short summary
We leverage over 2 decades of ground-based ozone observations alongside space-based observations of ozone precursors (NO2 and formaldehyde) to study the long-term evolution in ozone chemical regimes across global source regions. We find a global trend towards NOx-limited regimes supported by increasing satellite-based HCHO/NO2 ratio and a diminishing ozone weekend effect.
