Abstract

Atmospheric measurements of trace oxides of nitrogen, are at variance with accepted photochemical theory. In particular, measured NO₃ levels at night are lower than expected from photochemical equilibrium, observed HONO concentrations increase throughout the night, and HNO₃ or NO₃ ^- is produced rapidly in cloud and plume. We investigate theoretically the potential role of wet particles in the chemistry of NO₃, HONO, and HNO₃ through a model that incorporates H-N-O photochemistry and a heterogeneous scavenging parameterization. -from Authors
