The flow of air around the GSL is similar to a sea breeze off the ocean. During periods of high temperatures and calm winds during summer, there is a daily flow of air from the lake to the mountains in the morning and back from the mountains to the lake overnight. The GSL is in a closed basin surrounded by mountains.The GSL potentially influences ozone formation in three ways: Sites on islands in the GSL or adjacent to the GSL do not quite fit that paradigm. Typically, ozone forms in urban areas or areas directly downwind of urban areas. Periodic monitoring of ozone at temporary sites since 2010 revealed very high ozone concentrations near the GSL. Randy Martin), Weber State University (Dr. The Study is a collaborative project between the University of Utah (Dr. Better understanding of how the GSL influences ozone pollution will help DAQ make regulatory decisions to improve summer and winter air quality and more accurately forecast high ozone days. The Great Salt Lake Ozone Study is a project funded by the 2014 Utah Legislature to understand how the meteorology of the Great Salt Lake affects ozone pollution along the Wasatch Front.
