abstract = {The Photochemistry Experiment in BERLIOZ (PHOEBE) was
conducted in July/August 1998 at a rural site located near
the small village Pabstthum, about 50 km NW of downtown
Berlin. More than 60 nonmethane hydrocarbons (NMHC) in the
range of C-2-C-10 were measured using two in situ gas
chromatography (GC) systems. The first (GC1) was capable of
measuring C-2-C-10 hydrocarbons with a relatively high
separation efficiency but low time resolution (80-90 min),
while GC2 provided quasi-continuous measurements of C-5-C-10
hydrocarbons with a time resolution of 20 min but with a
poorer separation efficiency than GC1. The advantages of
both systems were joined by interpolation between two data
points of GC1 with the pattern given by GC2. For compounds
that could not be reliably measured with GC2, patterns of
compounds with similar reactivity were used. Air masses with
the lowest photochemical age as estimated from the
toluene/benzene ratio and the highest hydrocarbon mixing
ratios were observed on 20 and 21 July when air was advected
from the direction of Berlin. Alkanes were the most abundant
hydrocarbons (similar $to60\%)$ on a molecular basis,
followed by alkenes and aromatics. The reactivity of the
hydrocarbons toward OH was dominated by the alkenes
$(>60\%),$ with isoprene and a-pinene constituting the major
part. The hydrocarbon data were used together with the other
trace gases measured at Pabstthum to simulate OH, HO2, and
RO2 concentrations with the condensed chemical box model
RACM. Relatively good agreement of the simulated radical
concentrations with the spectroscopic measurements made at
Pabstthum is observed for NOx mixing ratios >5 ppb, whereas
the model overestimates OH and HO2 by $100\%$ and $40\%,$
respectively, at low NOx. The discrepancy between measured
and modeled OH does not correlate with the concentration of
particles. The RO2 concentrations are in good agreement with
the measurements over the entire range of NOx. Sensitivity
studies show that peroxyacetyl nitrate ( PAN) is an
important radical source and that missing volatile organic
compound (VOC) reactivity is an unlikely explanation for the
overestimation of HOx: By doubling of the VOC reactivity, OH
and HO2 can be brought into agreement. However, the model
then overestimates the organic RO2 concentrations by almost
a factor of 2. Another important finding is that RACM
overestimates the measured NO/NO2 ratio by $25\%.$ This and
the overestimation of HO2 lead to an overprediction of the
local ozone formation rate by about $40\%$ at low NOx mixing
ratios.},
