Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The database for volatile organic compounds (VOC data base) was created with the aim of providing an overview of tropospheric hydrocarbon measurements. The data base contains 202 substances, for which atmospheric and useful kinetic data such as rate coefficients, photolysis frequencies, mixing ratios, emission data and ozone formation potentials are compiled from available literature. The database file can be downloaded without charge from http://www.physchem.uni-wuppertal.de/voc-database. Registered users will be informed about the appearance of updates.
