Oxidants and Chemistry Working Group

All users interested in the GEOS-Chem chemistry scheme and associated processe (photolysis, heterogenous, deposition) are encouraged to subscribe to the chemistry email list (click here for browser sign-up: https://lists.seas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/geos-chem-oxidants).


Current GEOS-Chem Chemistry Issues (please add yours!)

Isoprene chemistry

I've created a page with some of the recent literature on isoprene chemistry. Please add more papers as they come along! ( MJE Leeds)

isoprene

HO2 + CH2O

Scheme does not contain the HO2 + CH2O --> Adduct reaction (MJE Leeds)

Hermans, I., et al. (2005), Kinetics of alpha-hydroxy-alkylperoxyl radicals in oxidation processes. HO2 center dot-initiated oxidation of ketones/aldehydes near the tropopause, Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 109(19), 4303-4311.

According to this paper, this reaction is significant when Temperature is below 220K.
