• Tropospheric or ground level ozone (O3) is an important greenhouse gas and a pollutant harmful to human health and agricultural activity. With high population pressure in the Indian Sub-continent and economies heavily reliant on agriculture and allied activities tropospheric ozone is problematic. This analysis assesses the spatial variability of tropospheric ozone using monthly AIRX3STM satellite data during 2002–16. The monthly images were combined and averaged to derive month-wise and four season-wise aggregates during 2002–2016 in order to understand monthly and seasonal variations in the spatial patterns of O3. A gain coefficient image was also generated using a GIS to visualize and depict areas with spatial variability of O3 during the period.
