OP3/ACES: Oxidant and particle photochemical processes above a south-east Asian tropical rain forest
OP3/ACES: Oxidant and particle photochemical processes above a south-east Asian tropical rain forest
Editor(s): C. N. Hewitt, W. T. Sturges, A. B. Guenther, A. R. MacKenzie, and G. McFiggans
This special issue contains papers resulting from two separate but linked projects: "Oxidant and particle photochemical processes above a South-East Asian tropical rain forest" (OP3) and "Aerosol coupling in the Earth system" (ACES). OP3 utilised ground, tower and aircraft-based measurements at two locations (rainforest and oil palm plantation) in Borneo, with box, trajectory and global model simulations to study atmospheric composition and chemistry in this region. ACES utilised targeted measurements in Borneo, together with aerosol chamber experiments and chemical mechanism and model development, to augment the aerosol-phase work of OP3.
