Mole concentration means number of moles per unit volume, also called "molarity", and is used in the construction "mole_concentration_of_X_in_Y", where X is a material constituent of Y. A chemical or biological species denoted by X may be described by a single term such as "nitrogen" or a phrase such as "nox_expressed_as_nitrogen". "tendency_of_X" means derivative of X with respect to time. The specification of a physical process by the phrase "due_to_" process means that the quantity named is a single term in a sum of terms which together compose the general quantity named by omitting the phrase. "Net Chemical production" means the result of "Chemical Production" minus "Chemical Destruction". "Chemical Production" refers to all chemical reactions within the medium (here, atmosphere) that produce a certain amount of a particular species from the medium. "Chemical Destruction" is the result of all chemical reactions within the medium (here, atmosphere) that destroy a certain amount of a particular species. The chemical formula for ozone is O3. The IUPAC name for ozone is trioxygen.
