Monitoring of surface ozone (O₃) and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) are vital for understanding the variation and exposure impact of these trace gases over the habitat. The present study analyses the in situ observations of surface O₃ and NOx for January–December 2016, for the first time over three sites of North-Eastern India (Aizwal, Gauhati and Tezpur). The sites are major cities of north-eastern India, located in the foothills of Eastern Himalaya and have no industrial impacts. We have analysed the seasonal variation of O₃ and NOx and found that the site Tezpur, which is in the valley area of Eastern Himalaya, is experiencing higher values of pollutants persisting for a long time compared to the other two stations. The correlation of surface O₃ with the air temperature at all three sites suggested that all the O₃ may not be locally produced, but has the contribution of transported pollution reaching to stations. The study also attempts to discover the existing variability in the surface O₃ and NOx over the study area by employing continuous wavelet analysis.
