abstract = {Tropospheric chlorine chemistry can strongly impact the
atmospheric oxidation capacity and composition, especially
in urban environments. To account for these reactions, the
gas- and aqueous-phase Cl chemistry of the community
atmospheric chemistry box model CAABA/MECCA has been
extended. In particular, an explicit mechanism for ClNO2
formation following N2O5 uptake to aerosols has been
developed. The updated model has been applied to two urban
environments with different concentrations of NOx (NO and
NO2): New Delhi (India) and Leicester (United Kingdom). The
model shows a sharp build-up of Cl at sunrise through Cl2
photolysis in both environments. Besides Cl2 photolysis,
ClO+NO reaction, and photolysis of ClNO2 and ClONO are
prominent sources of Cl in Leicester. High-NOx conditions in
Delhi tend to suppress the night-time build-up of N2O5 due
to titration of O3 and thus lead to lower ClNO2, in contrast
to Leicester. Major loss of ClNO2 is through its uptake on
chloride, producing Cl2 , which consequently leads to the
formation of Cl through photolysis. The reactivities of Cl
and OH are much higher in Delhi, however, the Cl/OH ratio is
up to ≈7 times greater in Leicester. The contribution of
Cl to the atmospheric oxidation capacity is significant and
even exceeds (by ≈2.9 times) that of OH during the morning
hours in Leicester. Sensitivity simulations suggest that the
additional consumption of VOCs due to active gas and
aqueous-phase chlorine chemistry enhances OH, HO2, RO2 near
the sunrise. The simulation results of the updated model
have important implications for future studies on
atmospheric chemistry and urban air quality.},
