Kinetics and Catalysis Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The dynamics of sulfur dioxide oxidation by oxygen in tropospheric clouds at night is analyzed. A crucial role in this free-radical process is played by the uptake of “nocturnal” NO3 radicals from the gas phase. Size effects in chemical reactions involving nocturnal NO3 have been discovered.
