“…In addition, across much of the RADM modeling domain, elevated levels of ozone went from being VOC sensitive to NOx sensitive with the increased levels of biogenic VOC emissions resulting from BEIS2 (Table 6). These results are similar to those of Roselle [1994] who used the Regional Oxidant Model (ROM), but because of the relatively coarse resolutions in both modeling studies, further examination of urban areas using models with finer grid resolutions is needed.…”

Abstract. The role of biogenic hydrocarbons on ozone modeling has been a controversial issue since the 1970s. In recent years, changes in biogenic emission algorithms have resulted in large increases in estimated isoprene emissions. This paper describes a recent algorithm, the second generation of the Biogenic Emissions Inventory System (BEIS2). A sensitivity analysis is performed with the Regional Acid Deposition Model (RADM) to examine how increased isoprene emissions generated with BEIS2 can influence the modeling of elevated ozone concentrations and the response of ozone to changes to volatile organic compound (VOC) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions across much of eastern North America. Increased isoprene emissions are found to produce a predicted shift in elevated ozone concentrations from VOC sensitivity to NOx sensitivity over many areas of eastern North America. Isoprene concentrations measured near Scotia, Pennsylvania, during the summer of 1988 are compared with RADM estimates of isoprene and provide support for the veracity of the higher isoprene emissions in BEIS2, which are about a factor of 5 higher than BEIS 1 during warm, sunny conditions.

“…Different studies have shown in the past years that biogenic hydrocarbons play a significant role in the formation of tropospheric ozone and that even in urban areas with high anthropogenic emissions they still need to be considered in order to develop reliable strategies for the reduction of tropospheric ozone (Chameides et al, 1988;Roselle, 1994;Vogel et al, 1995;Atkinson and Arey, 1998). It has also been known for quite some time that the oxidation of monoterpenes in the troposphere plays a potentially important role in the generation of secondary organic particulate matter (Went, 1960;Rasmussen, 1972;Trainer et al, 1987;Jacob and Wofsy, 1988;Andreae and Crutzen, 1997).…”

Abstract. The present paper reviews existing knowledge with regard to Organic Aerosol (OA) of importance for global climate modelling and defines critical gaps needed to reduce the involved uncertainties. All pieces required for the representation of OA in a global climate model are sketched out with special attention to Secondary Organic Aerosol (SOA): The emission estimates of primary carbonaceous particles and SOA precursor gases are summarized. The up-to-date understanding of the chemical formation and transformation of condensable organic material is outlined. Knowledge on the hygroscopicity of OA and measurements of optical properties of the organic aerosol constituents are summarized. The mechanisms of interactions of OA with clouds and dry and wet removal processes parameterisations in global models are outlined. This information is synthesized to provide a continuous analysis of the flow from the emitted material to the atmosphere up to the point of the climate impact of the produced organic aerosol. The sources of uncertainties at each step of this process are highlighted as areas that require further studies.

“…Much research has been undertaken in an effort to better understand and quantify this effect (Lloyd et al, 1983;Chameides et al, 1988Chameides et al, ,1992Lopez et al, 1989;Atherton and Penner, 1990;MacKenzie et al, 1991;McKeen et al, 1991;Linet al, 1992). In addition to efforts to accurately determine anthropogenic emissions of NOx (NOx = NO + NO2) and VOCs, accurate estimates of BVOC fluxes are needed to fully understand the factors contributing to tropospheric ozone formation in both urban and remote areas (Roselle et al, 1991;Roselle 1994). Besides urban ozone air pollution the concurrently observed steady increase of background and rural tropospheric ozone concontrations (Altshuller and Lefohn, 1996) has also been reported to impact forest health and reduce agricultural crop yields (Manning and Krupa, 1992;Runeckles and Chevone, 1992;Chappelka and Chevone, 1992;Herstein et al, 1995).…”
