Recent laboratory studies suggest that secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation rates are
higher than assumed in current models. There is also evidence that SOA removal by dry and
wet deposition occurs more efficiently than some current models suggest and that photolysis
and heterogeneous oxidation may be important (but currently ignored) SOA sinks. Here, we
have updated the global GEOS-Chem model to include this new information on formation
(ie, wall-corrected yields and emissions of semi-volatile and intermediate volatility organic …
