The role of aqueous phase reactions for organic aerosol

Barbara Ervens

Abstract
Chemical reactions in the aqueous phase are thought to significantly contribute to ambient organic aerosol mass (secondary organic aerosol, SOA) under specific conditions. The poster will show the development of models that predict such SOA formation. It will be discussed how lab studies are used to develop chemical mechanisms which are then used in process models. Selected case studies of process model studies will be shown and parameterizations suggested that could be used in larger scale models.
