▽ notes
  1. Concentration pertains to the troposphere
  2. Total values may not add up to exactly 100% due to roundoff and uncertainty.
  3. ppmv: parts per million by volume. Volume fraction is equal to mole fraction for ideal gas only, see volume (thermodynamics).
  4. 4.0 4.1 O3 concentration up to 0.07 ppmv (7×10−6%) in summer and up to 0.02 ppmv (2×10−6%) in winter.
  5. Volumetric composition value adjustment factor (sum of all trace gases, below the CO2, and adjusts for 30 ppmv)
