  Nitric oxide (NO) is a colorless gas, the most common form of nitrogen emitted
  into the atmosphere, either by fuel combustion or due to natural emissions. 
  Nitric oxide is interconverted with nitrogen dioxide fairly readily in the
  atmosphere, resulting in catalytic cycles leading to ozone formation in the
  troposphere and ozone loss in the stratosphere.
