Variability in Nocturnal Nitrogen Oxide Processing and Its Role in Regional Air Quality
Abstract
Nitrogen oxides in the lower troposphere catalyze the photochemical production of ozone (O 3 ) pollution during the day but react to form nitric acid, oxidize hydrocarbons, and remove O 3 at night. A key nocturnal reaction is the heterogeneous hydrolysis of dinitrogen pentoxide, N 2 O 5 . We report aircraft measurements of NO 3 and N 2 O 5 , which show that the N 2 O 5 uptake coefficient, g(N 2 O 5 ), on aerosol particles is highly variable and depends strongly on aerosol composition, particularly sulfate content. The results have implications for the quantification of regional-scale O 3 production and suggest a stronger interaction between anthropogenic sulfur and nitrogen oxide emissions than previously recognized.

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.
