I am not an expert on this, but there is a way to check this. You can predict from a gam using predict(ozonea, newdata=...). In the "newdata" argument you can specify the X-values of interest to you. Thus, you can compare if your predictions are the same when predicted directly from the gam or when predicted by hand.
