Organic material in the global troposphere
Abstract
Interest in the global tropospheric chemistry of organic materials has been growing rapidly over the past decade. In addition to a basic concern about the fundamental biogeochemical cycles of organic matter, this interest has arisen largely because of concern about the oxidant‐forming potential of natural hydrocarbons, the possible importance of nonmethane hydrocarbons as a source for atmospheric CO, and the role played by organic material in the formation of secondary aerosol particles. In this review we consider the information presently available on concentration distribution, sources, sinks, and atmospheric transformation reactions of organic matter in the global troposphere. The data base for tropospheric organic compounds is very small. However, it is apparent that while anthropogenic sources often dominate the atmospheric chemistry of organic material in urban and near‐urban air, a key to understanding the global cycling of tropospheric organic substances is a clear understanding of the interaction of the atmosphere with the terrestrial and marine biosphere.

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.
