Atmospheric chemistry of VOCs and NOx

Description of the NCAR Community Atmosphere Model (CAM 3.0)

The rate constant for the reaction of NO with ·O2− was determined to be (6.7 ± 0.9) × 109 1 mol−1 s−1, considerably higher than previously reported. Rate measurements were made from pH 5.6 to 12.5 ...

The reaction of no with superoxide

The interaction of water with solid surfaces: Fundamental aspects

We present a first description and evaluation of GEOS-CHEM, a global three-dimensional (3-D) model of tropospheric chemistry driven by assimilated meteorological observations from the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) of the NASA Data Assimilation Office (DAO). The model is applied to a 1-year simulation of tropospheric ozone-NOx-hydrocarbon chemistry for 1994, and is evaluated with observations both for 1994 and for other years. It reproduces usually to within 10 ppb the concentrations of ozone observed from the worldwide ozonesonde data network. It simulates correctly the seasonal phases and amplitudes of ozone concentrations for different regions and altitudes, but tends to underestimate the seasonal amplitude at northern midlatitudes. Observed concentrations of NO and peroxyacetylnitrate (PAN) observed in aircraft campaigns are generally reproduced to within a factor of 2 and often much better. Concentrations of HNO3 in the remote troposphere are overestimated typically by a factor of 2-3, a common problem in global models that may reflect a combination of insufficient precipitation scavenging and gas-aerosol partitioning not resolved by the model. The model yields an atmospheric lifetime of methylchloroform (proxy for global OH) of 5.1 years, as compared to a best estimate from observations of 5.5 plus or minus 0.8 years, and simulates H2O2 concentrations observed from aircraft with significant regional disagreements but no global bias. The OH concentrations are approximately 20% higher than in our previous global 3-D model which included an UV-absorbing aerosol. Concentrations of CO tend to be underestimated by the model, often by 10-30 ppb, which could reflect a combination of excessive OH (a 20% decrease in model OH could be accommodated by the methylchloroform constraint) and an underestimate of CO sources (particularly biogenic). The model underestimates observed acetone concentrations over the South Pacific in fall by a factor of 3; a missing source from the ocean may be implicated.

Global modeling of tropospheric chemistry with assimilated meteorology : Model description and evaluation

As part of a series of evaluated sets, rate constants and photochemical cross sections compiled by the NASA Panel for Data Evaluation are provided. The primary application of the data is in the modeling of stratospheric processes, with particular emphasis on the ozone layer and its possible perturbation by anthropogenic and natural phenomena. Copies of this evaluation are available from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Chemical kinetics and photochemical data for use in stratospheric modeling

These tables of evaluated rate constants for use in stratospheric modeling have been taken from the most recent report of the NASA Panel that has been periodically producing such reviews. They are reproduced here to make a broader community aware of their existence. This article should NOT be cited, nor should these rate constants be used without consulting the full report. All citations should be to that original report (JPL Publ. 85-37), which contains extensive documentation and discussion of the rationale of the evaluation. Copies may be obtained by requesting JPL Publ. 85-37 from Documentation Services, 111-116B, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, 4800 Oak Grove Drive, Pasadena, CA 91109.
