abstract = {The influence of chemical precursors and sunlight on the
atmospheric OH abundance is investigated by a comparison of
locally measured tropospheric OH concentration with model
calculations. The latter are based on the gas phase reaction
mechanism of the Regional Acid Deposition Model (RADM2)
which incorporates an explicit inorganic and a comprehensive
organic chemistry. The experimental data were obtained in
the planetary boundary layer during two sets of campaigns.
In Deuselbach (1983) and Schauinsland (1984) rural
conditions were encountered with NO, concentrations on the
average of 2.2 ppb and 0.9 ppb, respectively. This data set
was already compared with model calculations based upon an
older and less detailed chemical reaction scheme (Pemer et
al., 1987). Since then the experimental data were reanalysed
leading to modified measured OH concentrations and also to
modified precursor concentrations. For a consistent
comparison with the more recent campaigns in JOlich (1987
and 1988) we have redone the calculations. The modeled and
measured OH-concentrations of the campaigns in 1983 and 1984
correlate well with a coefficient of correlation of r =
0.73. The model overpredicts OH by about $20\%.$ Under more
polluted conditions in JOlich with average NO,
concentrations of 4 ppb the correlation coefficient between
experimental and modeled data are significantly smaller (r =
0.61). Possible reasons are the influence of not measured
precursors, for example isoprene, and the inapplicability of
a quasi steady state model under the spatially inhomogeneous
conditions in JOlich. Again the model overpredicts the OH
concentration by about $15\%,$ which is somewhat smaller
than for the rural case. The precision of the comparison is
limited by the uncertainties of the chemical reaction rate
constants.},
