      abstract     = {We analysed the extensive dataset from the HUMPPA-COPEC
                      2010 and the HOPE 2012 field campaigns in the boreal forest
                      and rural environments of Finland and Germany, respectively,
                      and estimated the abundance of stabilised Criegee
                      intermediates (SCI) in the lower troposphere. Based on
                      laboratory tests, we propose that the background OH signal
                      observed in our IPI-LIF-FAGE instrument during the
                      afore-mentioned campaigns is caused at least partially by
                      SCI. This hypothesis is based on observed correlations with
                      temperature and with concentrations of unsaturated volatile
                      organic compounds and ozone. The background OH concentration
                      also complements the previously underestimated production
                      rate of sulfuric acid and is consistent with its scavenging
                      through the addition of sulphur dioxide. A central estimate
                      of the SCI concentration of
                      ~ 5 × 104 molecules cm−3 (with an order of
                      magnitude uncertainty) is calculated for the two
                      environments. This implies a very low ambient concentration
                      of SCI, though, over the boreal forest, significant for the
                      conversion of SO2 into H2SO4. The large uncertainties in
                      these calculations, owing to the many unknowns in the
                      chemistry of Criegee intermediates, emphasise the need to
                      better understand these processes and their potential effect
                      on the self-cleaning capacity of the atmosphere.},
