1 The Regional Atmospheric Chemistry Mechanism, version 2 (RACM2) William R. Stockwell 1,2 and Wendy S. Goliff 2 1 Department of Chemistry, Howard University 2 Division of Atmospheric Sciences, Desert Research Institute
2 Mechanism Ancestry RADM2 Regional Acid Deposition Mechanism, version 2 (Stockwell et al., 1990): Developed to predict regional atmospheric chemistry and acid rain formation. RACM1 Regional Atmospheric Chemistry Mechanism, version 1 (Stockwell et al., 1997): The aromatic chemistry scheme was improved using available laboratory data. Included reaction schemes for biogenic compounds such as isoprene, limonene and α-pinene.
3 RACM2 RACM2 is being developed from RACM1. It contains a new schemes for: Acetone Aromatic compounds (based upon Calvert et al. (02)) Isoprene (based upon Geiger et al. (03) and improved by adding methyl vinyl ketone explicitly) α-pinene d-limonene About 1 Chemical Species in 300 Reactions

8 Thesis Forested ecosystems capable of high rates (> 50 nmoles m -2 s -1 ) of biogenic hydrocarbon emissions, and in the vicinity of modest rates of nitrogen oxide emissions from suburban automobile traffic, can support a unique and active photochemistry. Regional air quality models will likely need to include the in canopy processing of biogenic hydrocarbons, if they intend to accurately represent the photochemical production of pollutants.

43 Conclusions - I Simulations of measurements from a forest canopy were made with the RACM1 and RACM2 mechanisms. RACM1 and RACM2 forecast similar HO and NO 3. RACM1 and RACM2 forecast similar relative reaction rates of HO, O 3 and NO 3 with isoprene, α-pinene and d-limonene. The two mechanisms forecast different concentrations of HNO 3, PAN, HCHO, H 2 O 2, organic peroxides and organic acids. Ratios HNO 3 /HCHO and HNO 3 /H 2 O 2 similar.
44 Conclusions - II Substantial nitrate (NO 3 ) and hydroxyl (HO) radical formation occurred within the forest canopy, with maximum NO 3 and HO levels approaching 1 part per trillion on a volume basis (pptv) and 0.05 pptv, respectively. These NO 3 and HO levels, combined with within-canopy ozone (O 3 ) molar mixing ratios of 60 parts per billion (ppbv), reacted with biogenic hydrocarbons and produced substantial amounts (0.6 ppbv) of peroxy radicals.
