abstract = {Ambient OH and HO2 concentrations were measured by laser
induced fluorescence (LIF) during the PRIDE-PRD2006 (Program
of Regional Integrated Experiments of Air Quality over the
Pearl River Delta, 2006) campaign at a rural site downwind
of the megacity of Guangzhou in Southern China. The observed
OH concentrations reached daily peak values of (15-26) x
10(6) cm(-3) which are among the highest values so far
reported for urban and suburban areas. The observed OH shows
a consistent high correlation with j((OD)-D-1) over a broad
range of NOx conditions. The correlation cannot be
reproduced by model simulations, indicating that OH
stabilizing processes are missing in current models. The
observed OH exhibited a weak dependence on NOx in contrast
to model predictions. While modelled and measured OH agree
well at NO mixing ratios above 1 ppb, a continuously
increasing underprediction of the observed OH is found
towards lower NO concentrations, reaching a factor of 8 at
0.02 ppb NO. A dependence of the modelled-to-measured OH
ratio on isoprene cannot be concluded from the PRD data.
However, the magnitude of the ratio fits into the isoprene
dependent trend that was reported from other campaigns in
forested regions. Hofzumahaus et al. (2009) proposed an
unknown OH recycling process without NO, in order to explain
the high OH levels at PRD in the presence of high VOC
reactivity and low NO. Taking a recently discovered
interference in the LIF measurement of HO2 into account, the
need for an additional HO2 -> OH recycling process persists,
but the required source strength may be up to $20\%$ larger
than previously determined. Recently postulated isoprene
mechanisms by Lelieveld et al. (2008) and Peeters and Muller
(2010) lead to significant enhancements of OH expected for
PRD, but an underprediction of the observed OH by a factor
of two remains at low NO (0.1-0.2 ppb). If the photolysis of
hydroperoxy aldehydes from isoprene is as efficient as
proposed by Peeters and Muller (2010), the corresponding OH
formation at PRD would be more important than the primary OH
production from ozone and HONO. While the new isoprene
mechanisms need to be confirmed by laboratory experiments,
there is probably need for other, so far unidentified
chemical processes to explain entirely the high OH levels
observed in Southern China.},
