Quantifying the Seasonal and Interannual Variability of North American Isoprene Emissions Using Satellite Observations of the Formaldehyde Column [PDF]
Quantifying isoprene emissions using satellite observations of the formaldehyde (HCHO) columns is subject to errors involving the column retrieval and the assumed relationship between HCHO columns and isoprene emissions, taken here from the GEOS-CHEM ...

Simulating atmospheric composition over a South-East Asian tropical rainforest: performance of a chemistry box model [PDF]
Atmospheric composition and chemistry above tropical rainforests is currently not well established, particularly for south-east Asia. In order to examine our understanding of chemical processes in this region, the performance of a box model of ...

Estimating European volatile organic compound emissions using satellite observations of formaldehyde from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument [PDF]
Emission of non-methane Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) to the atmosphere stems from biogenic and human activities, and their estimation is difficult because of the many and not fully understood processes involved.

Formaldehyde production from isoprene oxidation across NOx regimes [PDF]
The chemical link between isoprene and formaldehyde (HCHO) is a strong, nonlinear function of NOx (i.e., NO + NO2). This relationship is a linchpin for top-down isoprene emission inventory verification from orbital HCHO column observations. It is also a

Global and regional impacts of land cover changes on isoprene emissions derived from spaceborne data and the MEGAN model [PDF]
Among the biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) emitted by plant foliage, isoprene is by far the most important in terms of both global emission and atmospheric impact. It is highly reactive in the air, and its degradation favours the generation of

Bacterial degradation of poly(trans-1,4-isoprene) (gutta percha) [PDF]
Gutta percha, the trans-isomer of polyisoprene, is being used for several technical applications due to its resistance to biological degradation. In the past, several attempts to isolate micro-organisms capable of degrading chemically pure poly(trans-1,4-isoprene) have failed. This is the first report on axenic cultures of bacteria capable of degrading

Forward and Inverse Analysis of Chemical Transport Models [PDF]
Assessing the discrepancy between modeled and observed distributions of aerosols is a persistent problem on many scales. Tools for analyzing the evolution of aerosol size distributions using the adjoint method are presented in idealized box model ...

The microbiology of isoprene cycling in aquatic ecosystems [PDF]
Isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) is emitted in vast quantities (>500 Tg C yr-1). Most isoprene is emitted by trees, but there is still incomplete understanding of the diversity of isoprene sources.
