Vidic^ ' Rudjer Boskovic Institute, Bijenicka 54, Zagreb, Croatia ' * TT » . . . _ oj Croatia, Gric 3, Zagreb, Introduction According to model calculations the Adriatic region represents an area of pronounced tropospheric ozone gradients (Simpson, 1991). Ozone is probably formed from precursors generated on the mainland either to the East in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegowina or to the West in Italy. The correlation of ozone levels with wind directions should yield information on the dominant contributions. The result of the analysis of data for the summer periods of 1996 and 1997 are reported. Data were obtained from monitoring stations at Mali Losmj on the island of Losinj, Bonk
