Rate constants of reactions of ozone with organic and inorganic compounds in water—III. Inorganic compounds and radicals

TL;DR: In this article, second-order rate constants for reactions of ozone with 40 inorganic aqueous solutes are reported, including compounds of sulfur (e.g. H2S, HOCl, NH2Cl, HClO2, ClO2), bromine (i.e., Br−, HOBr), nitrogen (e., NH3, N2O, HNO2), as well as free radicals (e,g. O2−, OH•).

A global three-dimensional model of the tropospheric sulfur cycle

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used an Eulerian transport model, the MOGUNTIA model, with a horizontal resolution of 10° longitude by 10° latitude and with 10 layers in the vertical between the surface and 100 hPa.

Chemical mechanisms of acid generation in the troposphere

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that gaseous hydrogen peroxide is a major oxidant leading to sulphuric acid generation in cloud water, and computer simulations can now rationalize the observed seasonal trends.

Ozone and other secondary photochemical pollutants: chemical processes governing their formation in the planetary boundary layer

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the current understanding of the chemical mechanisms leading to the generation of secondary pollutants in the troposphere is provided, with particular emphasis on chemical processes occurring in the planetary boundary layer.

The contribution of ocean‐leaving DMS to the global atmospheric burdens of DMS, MSA, SO2, and NSS SO4=

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified the contribution of ocean-derived DMS to the atmospheric burdens of a variety of sulphur compounds (DMS, MSA, SO2, and nss SO4=) from season to season.

The mathematics of diffusion

John Crank
TL;DR: Though it incorporates much new material, this new edition preserves the general character of the book in providing a collection of solutions of the equations of diffusion and describing how these solutions may be obtained.

The physics of clouds

TL;DR: In the last fifteen years there has been a surge of activity in this science under the stimulus of development in civil and military aviation as discussed by the authors, and the growth of cloud physics during this period has been fostered not only by this general invigoration, but also by recognition of the practicability of exerting some influence upon the behaviour of clouds and their capacity for producing rain, hail, lightning and other meteorological phenomena.

The concentration of chloride, sodium, potassium, calcium, and sulfate in rain water over the united states

TL;DR: The distribution of yearly averages of the concentration of various inorganic ions in rain water over the United States is discussed in this article, where the major source of Cl−is the ocean.
