8 HO 2 and CH 3 O 2 in the troposphere HO 2 is measured by FAGE by conversion to OH; typically the measured [HO 2 ] peaks at daytime at a few 10 8 cm -3.

9 HO 2 and CH 3 O 2 in the troposphere HO 2 is measured by FAGE by conversion to OH; typically the measured [HO 2 ] peaks at daytime at a few 10 8 cm -3. Currently there are no specific measurements of the concentration of CH 3 O 2 or any other RO 2 by any direct or indirect method.

10 HO 2 and CH 3 O 2 in the troposphere HO 2 is measured by FAGE by conversion to OH; typically the measured [HO 2 ] peaks at daytime at a few 10 8 cm -3. Currently there are no specific measurements of the concentration of CH 3 O 2 or any other RO 2 by any direct or indirect method. The sum of organic RO 2 has been measured in the atmosphere using CIMS (Chemical Ionisation Mass Spectrometry), PERCA (Peroxy Radical Chemical Amplifier) method and more recently RO x LIF method.

Currently there are no specific measurements of the concentration of CH 3 O 2 or any other RO 2 by any direct or indirect method. The sum of organic RO 2 has been measured in the atmosphere using CIMS (Chemical Ionisation Mass Spectrometry), PERCA (Peroxy Radical Chemical Amplifier) method and more recently RO x LIF method. Box modelling using the Master Chemical Mechanism (MCM) has found that the daytime [CH 3 O 2 ] peaks in the range ~(0.5-6) 10 8 cm -3. * * Whalley et al. ACP, 2010; 2011; 2018

12 A new method for the selective and sensitive detection of CH 3 O 2 radicals CH 3 O 2 radicals are detected by titration with known amounts of NO to generate CH 3 O radicals which are then detected using FAGE. CH 3 O 2 + NO CH 3 O + NO 2 LIF detection The A X electronic excitation of CH 3 O radicals is used to detect these radicals with high sensitivity and selectively by LIF.

13 A new method for the selective and sensitive detection of CH 3 O 2 radicals The method is similar to the FAGE method used for HO 2 detection: CH 3 O 2 + NO CH 3 O + NO 2 LIF detection HO 2 + NO OH + NO 2 LIF detection
