Almost all motorized transportation today involves the combustion of fossil fuels, which produces energy to be transformed into motion. This combustion is the reaction of the hydrogen and carbon present in the fuels with oxygen in the air to produce–in the ideal world–water vapour (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Neither of these products is damaging to human health. However, CO2 is the principal gas responsible for the “greenhouse” effect, an increase in the average temperature of the planet resulting from the trapping of solar energ y, with which the increased presence of this gas in the atmosphere is. | Atmos.

The comparison of MOZAIC measurements in summer 2003 with the 11-year MOZAIC climatology reflects strong temperature anomalies exceeding 4 C throughout the lower troposphere. Higher positive anomalies of temperature and negative anomalies of both wind speed and relative humidity are found for the period defined here as the heat wave 2-14 August 2003 compared to the periods before 16-31 July 2003 and after 16-31 August 2003 the heat wave. In addition Lagrangian model simulations in backward mode indicate the suppressed long-range transport in the mid- to lower troposphere and the enhanced southern origin of air masses for all tropospheric levels during the heat wave. Ozone and carbon monoxide also present strong anomalies both 40ppbv during the heat wave with a maximum vertical extension reaching 6 km altitude .
