abstract = {Hydroxyl (OH) radical reactivity (kOH) has been measured
for 18 years with different measurement techniques. In order
to compare the performances of instruments deployed in the
field, two campaigns were conducted performing experiments
in the atmospheric simulation chamber SAPHIR at
Forschungszentrum Jülich in October 2015 and April 2016.
Chemical conditions were chosen either to be representative
of the atmosphere or to test potential limitations of
instruments. All types of instruments that are currently
used for atmospheric measurements were used in one of the
two campaigns. The results of these campaigns demonstrate
that OH reactivity can be accurately measured for a wide
range of atmospherically relevant chemical conditions (e.g.
water vapour, nitrogen oxides, various organic compounds) by
all instruments. The precision of the measurements (limit of
detection < 1 s−1 at a time resolution of 30 s
to a few minutes) is higher for instruments directly
detecting hydroxyl radicals, whereas the indirect
comparative reactivity method (CRM) has a higher limit of
detection of 2 s−1 at a time resolution of 10 to
15 min. The performances of the instruments were
systematically tested by stepwise increasing, for example,
the concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO), water vapour or
nitric oxide (NO). In further experiments, mixtures of
organic reactants were injected into the chamber to simulate
urban and forested environments. Overall, the results show
that the instruments are capable of measuring OH reactivity
in the presence of CO, alkanes, alkenes and aromatic
compounds. The transmission efficiency in Teflon inlet lines
could have introduced systematic errors in measurements for
low-volatile organic compounds in some instruments. CRM
instruments exhibited a larger scatter in the data compared
to the other instruments. The largest differences to
reference measurements or to calculated reactivity were
observed by CRM instruments in the presence of terpenes and
oxygenated organic compounds (mixing ratio of OH reactants
were up to 10 ppbv). In some of these experiments, only a
small fraction of the reactivity is detected. The accuracy
of CRM measurements is most likely limited by the
corrections that need to be applied to account for known
effects of, for example, deviations from pseudo first-order
conditions, nitrogen oxides or water vapour on the
measurement. Methods used to derive these corrections vary
among the different CRM instruments. Measurements taken with
a flow-tube instrument combined with the direct detection of
OH by chemical ionisation mass spectrometry (CIMS) show
limitations in cases of high reactivity and high NO
concentrations but were accurate for low reactivity
(< 15 s−1) and low NO (< 5 ppbv) conditions.},
