11 tNO=O3 (PST) Interpolated time of morn<strong>in</strong>g crossover of O 3 and NO.<br />
Marks ends of O 3 <strong>in</strong>hibition period and <strong>the</strong> beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g of<br />
<strong>the</strong> ozone accumulation period.<br />
12 tO3max (PST) Interpolated time of daily maximum O 3<br />
