Isoprene accounts for more than half of non-methane volatile organics globally. Despite extensive experimentation, homogeneous formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) from isoprene remains unproven. Herein, an in-cloud process is identified in which isoprene produces SOA. Interstitial oxidation of isoprene produces water-soluble aldehydes that react in cloud droplets to form organic acids. Upon cloud evaporation new organic particulate matter is formed. Cloud processing of isoprene contributes at least 1.6 Tg yr-1 to a global biogenic SOA production of 8?40 Tg yr-1. We conclude that cloud processing of isoprene is an important contributor to SOA production, altering the global distribution of hygroscopic organic aerosol and cloud condensation nuclei.
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic
(which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments.
It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions.
The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager
like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
