Following the establishment of point measurements of ground-level ozone concentrations have been attempts by many researchers to develop ozone surfaces. This paper offers a critique of ozone-mapping endeavors, while also empirically exploring the operational scale of ground-level ozone. The following issues are discussed: aspects of spatial scale; the spatial complexity of ground-level ozone concentrations; and the problems of previous attempts at ozone mapping. Most ozone-mapping studies are beset with at least one of the following core problems: spatial-scale violations; an improper evaluation of surfaces; inaccurate surfaces; and the inappropriate use of surfaces in certain analyses. The major recommendations to researchers are to acknowledge spatial scale (especially operational scale), understand the prerequisites of surface-generating techniques, and to evaluate the resultant ozone surface properly.
在建立了地面臭氧浓度的定点测量之后，许多研究人员尝试绘制臭氧表面图。本文对臭氧绘图工作进行了批判，同时也通过实证探索了地面臭氧的操作尺度。讨论了以下问题：空间尺度方面；地面臭氧浓度的空间复杂性；以及以往臭氧绘图尝试中存在的问题。大多数臭氧绘图研究至少存在以下核心问题之一：空间尺度违规；对表面的评估不当；表面不准确；以及在某些分析中对表面的使用不当。对研究人员的主要建议是认识到空间尺度（尤其是操作尺度），了解表面生成技术的前提条件，并正确评估所得的臭氧表面。
