When Aerosol Sulfate Goes Up, So Does Oxalate: Implication for the Formation Mechanisms of Oxalate
Abstract
Oxalic acid is often the single most abundant water-soluble organic compound identified in ambient aerosols, but its precursors have not been identified, and its formation mechanism is not well understood. On the contrary, sulfate as a major aerosol component, its formation pathways have been established, and in-cloud processing is recognized as its major production pathway. Our measurements of aerosol sulfate and oxalate collected across a wide geographical span in the East Asia region, up to Beijing in the north and down to Hong Kong in the south, indicate that the two species are highly correlated among samples collected at the same location and among samples collected at different locations in the Pearl River Delta region. This good correlation is also found in measurements made elsewhere by other researchers. We argue that a common dominant formation pathway, likely in-cloud processing, explains the close tracking of the two chemically distinct species. This also highlights the potential importance of in-cloud processing as a pathway leading to formation of secondary organic aerosols.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
