The distribution of ozone (O3) and its precursors (NOx, VOCs) is explored using the chemistry–climate model MUSICAv0 and evaluated using measurements from the Michigan–Ontario Ozone Source Experiment. A custom grid of ~7 km was created over Michigan. A sector-based diurnal cycle for anthropogenic nitric oxide was included in the model. This work shows that grid resolution plays a more important role in relation to O3 precursors and that the diurnal cycle significantly impacts nighttime O3 formation.
