Short summary
We have developed a new parameterization of the reactive uptake of glyoxal and methylglyoxal by atmospheric aerosols and cloud droplets. Our calculations take into account newly available information regarding the gas–particle partitioning of these species and their chemical processing in the aerosol phase. We expect application of these parameterizations will result in improved representation of aqueous secondary organic aerosol formation in atmospheric chemistry models.
