abstract = {HONO formation has been proposed as an important OH radical
source in simulation chambers for more than two decades.
Besides the heterogeneous HONO formation by the dark
reaction of NO2 and adsorbed water, a photolytic source has
been proposed to explain the elevated reactivity in
simulation chamber experiments. However, the mechanism of
the photolytic process is not well understood so far. As
expected, production of HONO and NOx was also observed
inside the new atmospheric simulation chamber SAPHIR under
solar irradiation. This photolytic HONO and NOx formation
was studied with a sensitive HONO instrument under
reproducible controlled conditions at atmospheric
concentrations of other trace gases. It is shown that the
photolytic HONO source in the SAPHIR chamber is not caused
by NO2 reactions and that it is the only direct NOy source
under illuminated conditions. In addition, the photolysis of
nitrate which was recently postulated for the observed
photolytic HONO formation on snow, ground, and glass
surfaces, can be excluded in the chamber. A photolytic HONO
source at the surface of the chamber is proposed which is
strongly dependent on humidity, on light intensity, and on
temperature. An empirical function describes these
dependencies and reproduces the observed HONO formation
rates to within 10 $\%.$ It is shown that the photolysis of
HONO represents the dominant radical source in the SAPHIR
chamber for typical tropospheric O-3/H2O concentrations. For
these conditions, the HONO concentrations inside SAPHIR are
similar to recent observations in ambient air.},
