“…Biogenic RONO 2 species are mainly produced from the oxidation of BVOCs by OH in the presence of NO x during daytime and by the nitrate radical (NO 3 ) during nighttime. Laboratory and field studies show a wide range of RONO 2 yields from their BVOC precursors (Browne et al, 2014;Fry et al, 2014;Lockwood et al, 2010;Paulot et al, 2009;Rindelaub et al, 2015;Rollins et al, 2009;Lee et al, 2014;Xiong et al, 2015Xiong et al, , 2016Teng et al, 2015). Another uncertainty lies in the fate of RONO 2 ; i.e., recycling RONO 2 into NO x or converting it to HNO 3 has important implications for the NO y budget and thus ozone production (Fiore et al, 2005;Horowitz et al, 2007;Ito et al, 2009;Perring et al, 2013;Paulot et al, 2012).…”
