Regulatory and scientific applications of photochemical models are typically evaluated by
comparing model estimates to measured values. It is important to compare quantitative …

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), particularly terpenoids, can significantly
drive the formation of ozone (O 3) and secondary organic aerosols (SOA) in the atmosphere …

Biogenic vapors form new particles in the atmosphere, affecting global climate. The
contributions of monoterpenes and isoprene to new particle formation (NPF) have been …

Photochemical grid models are addressing an increasing variety of air quality related issues,
yet procedures and metrics used to evaluate their performance remain inconsistent. This …

Numerous scientific upgrades to the representation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) are
incorporated into the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modeling system. Additions …

Atmospheric chemistry in background areas is strongly influenced by natural vegetation.
Coniferous forests are known to produce large quantities of volatile vapors, especially …

To predict important secondary organic aerosol (SOA) properties, information on viscosity or
diffusion rates within SOA is needed. Ozonolysis of β-caryophyllene is an important SOA …

Plants, and particularly trees, are the largest source of atmospheric volatile organic
compounds globally. Insect herbivory alters plant volatile emission rates and the types of …

Trees can significantly impact the urban air chemistry by the uptake and emission of reactive
biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), which are involved in ozone and particle …

The Amazonian rainforest is a large tropical ecosystem, which is one of the last pristine
continental terrains. This ecosystem is ideally located for the study of diel and seasonal …
