Tropospheric O3 from photolysis of O2
[1] Photolytic dissociation of molecular oxygen (O2) at wavelengths about 205 nm produces ozone (O3) in the upper tropical troposphere. In tropospheric chemistry models that ignore this process, the O3 abundance above 14 km in the tropics (a.k.a. Tropopause Transition Layer) is underestimated by 5 to 20 ppb. Even for models including O2 photolysis, uncertainty in the O2 cross sections yields si...
متن کاملClouds, photolysis and regional tropospheric ozone budgets
We use a three-dimensional chemical transport model to examine the shortwave radiative effects of clouds on the tropospheric ozone budget. In addition to looking at changes in global concentrations as previous studies have done, we examine changes in ozone chemical production and loss caused by clouds and how these vary in different parts of the troposphere. On a global scale, we find that clou...
متن کاملTropospheric Aerosol Impacts on Trace-Gas Budgets through Photolysis
Aerosols affect the global budgets of O3, OH and CH4 in part through their alteration of photolysis rates and in part through their direct chemistry interactions with gases (a.k.a. “heterogeneous chemistry”). The first effect is evaluated here with a global tropospheric chemistry transport model using recently developed global climatologies of tropospheric aerosols: a satellite-derived aerosol ...
متن کاملEffects of aerosols on tropospheric photolysis rates in clear and cloudy atmospheres
The effect of aerosols on 14 tropospheric photolysis reactions is examined under noncloudy and cloudy sky conditions by using a detailed one-dimensional radiative transfer model. Pure (NH4)2SO4, pure soot, and internal and external mixtures of the two aerosols, as well as mineral dust aerosol, are considered. Nonabsorbing aerosol generally enhances photolysis rates above and in the upper part o...
