abstract = {Atmospheric concentrations of nitrous acid (HONO), one of
the major precursors of the hydroxyl radical (OH) in the
troposphere, significantly exceed the values predicted by
the assumption of a photostationary state (PSS) during
daytime. Therefore, additional sources of HONO were
intensively investigated in the last decades. This study
presents budget calculations of HONO based on simultaneous
measurements of all relevant species, including HONO and OH
at two different measurement heights, i.e. 1 m above the
ground and about 2 to 3 m above the canopy (24 m above the
ground), conducted in a boreal forest environment. We
observed mean HONO concentrations of about 6.5 × 108
molecules cm−3 (26 ppt) during daytime, more than 20 times
higher than expected from the PSS of 0.2 × 108 molecules
cm−3 (1 ppt). To close the budgets at both heights, a
strong additional source term during daytime is required.
This unidentified source is at its maximum at noon (up to
1.1 × 106 molecules cm−3 s−1, 160 ppt h−1) and in
general up to 2.3 times stronger above the canopy than close
to the ground. The insignificance of known gas phase
reactions and other processes like dry deposition or
advection compared to the photolytic decomposition of HONO
at this measurement site was an ideal prerequisite to study
possible correlations of this unknown term to proposed HONO
sources. But neither the proposed emissions from soils nor
the proposed photolysis of adsorbed HNO3 contributed
substantially to the unknown source. However, the unknown
source was found to be perfectly correlated to the
unbalanced photolytic loss of HONO.},
