## In short

The study identifies temperature as the primary driver of seasonal shifts between VOC-limited and NOx-limited ozone regimes.

## What they found (results)

Observations and model simulations show temperature is the dominant driver of seasonal ozone sensitivity, shifting cities between VOC-limited and NOx-limited conditions.

These researchers were not testing DSRP. The finding is theirs; the correspondence to DSRP is drawn by this site.
