R., Evans, M. J., Scott, C. E., D'Andrea, S. D., Farmer, D. K., Swietlicki, E., and Spracklen, D. V.: Weak sensitivity of cloud condensation nuclei and the aerosol indirect effect to Criegee + SO2 chemistry, Atmos. Chem. Phys., 13, , doi: /acp , 2013.

2 SO2 fates H2O2, O3 SO2 OH SO42~25%: aqueous oxidation ~15%: gas-phase oxidation H2SO4 ~60%: deposition

3 SO2 fates H2O2, O3 SO2 OH SO42~25%: aqueous oxidation ~15%: gas-phase oxidation This path is necessary for H2SO4 nucleation and growth ~60%: deposition

4 SO2 fates SO2 H2O2, O3 OH, X SO42~25%: aqueous oxidation ~??%: gas-phase oxidation H2SO4 ~60%: deposition

5 Aerosol size distribution Particle Number Accumulation mode Ultrafine (Aitken) mode ~100 nm - Cloud Condensation Nuclei (CCN) - Aerosol scattering/absorption Cloud processing Nucleation Coagulation Aqueous chem Collection Condensation >1 μm ~1 nm Particle Size Deposition Primary Emissions Primary Emissions Deposition

6 Criegee from alkenes Initial steps of ozonolalysis of an alkene Criegee intermediate Criegee intermediate

7 SO2 oxidation by the Criegee intermediate + SO2 SO3 SO3 + H2O H2SO4 Welz et al. Direct Kinetic Measurements of Criegee Intermediate (CH2OO) Formed by Reaction of CH2I with O2, Science, SO2 + Criegee reaction is faster than previously thought! Mauldin et al., A new atmospherically relevant oxidant of sulphur dioxide, Nature, SO2 + Criegee is important for producing a large fraction of H 2SO4 in the forested boundary layer!

16 Boundary-layer increases in H2SO4 vapor from addition of CI+SO2 July mean Annual mean July mean

17 BL Increase in total aerosol and CCN number from addition of CI+SO2 Dp > 10 nm Annual mean Dp > 10 nm July mean ~ CCN Dp > 80 nm Annual mean ~ CCN Dp > 80 nm July mean

18 BL Increase in total aerosol and CCN number from addition of CI+SO2 More H2SO4 Faster growth Dp > 10 nm Annual mean Dp > 10 nm But! ~ CCN Dp > 80 nm Annual mean July mean Increased total particle surface area Slower growth More coagulation Dp > 80 nm July mean Small CCN change!

19 Cloud albedo effect from adding CI+SO2 chemistry Global mean = 0.03 W m-2

20 Criegee summary Criegee intermediate may be important oxidant of SO2 near alkene sources Could increase H2SO4 vapor formation by ~5% globally and over 400% regionally CCN and indirect forcing changes weak due to microphysical dampening
