[pam-users] RO2 chemistry paper

[pam-users]

Dear all,

Our paper on RO2 chemistry in OFRs just appeared in ACPD today. As most of
you know, RO2 are among the most critical intermediates in atmospheric
oxidation of organics, and their fate determines the product molecules. For
some OFR applications where it is important to produce the same molecules
in the OFR as in the atmosphere, it is important to try to keep the RO2
chemical regime similar. The paper includes the details of the basis for
the limitations on the operating space of the PAM (particularly at low NO)
that were discussed at the PAM Users Meeting as well as in my talk at IAC a
couple of weeks ago.

Please note that, just as we discussed at the Users Meeting, this paper
contains information for users who care about which SOA (or gas-phase)
molecules are actually produced. This will generally matter wanting to
produce atmospherically realistic SOA for studying e.g. toxicology, light
absorption, and physico-chemical properties. For users that only want to
use an OFR to produce a complex mixture of oxidized species to test
instruments or for other purposes, these limitations may not apply, or not
as strictly.

If you have any questions or comments on the paper, please let us know.

Cheers,
