Short summary
Near-surface ozone over the tropical Pacific is among the lowest on Earth. This study provides rare observations from this key region. Using sunlight measurements with an infrared spectrometer in Palau, we found that ozone rises in the morning and falls after noon. This daily rhythm and very low levels show how clean ocean air and weak thunderstorms shape atmospheric chemistry and affect Earth's climate.
