Abstract
Extreme weather events including heat waves have assumed significant changes in intensity and frequency in the context of global warming. Unpreceeded 15-day long heat wave with record temperatures and unusually persistent high-ozone concentrations was observed in Europe during August 2003 (Vautard et al. 2005). Special meteorological situation favored the progressive accumulation of ozone.
