abstract = {During the ACRIDICON-CHUVA field project
(September–October 2014; based in Manaus, Brazil)
aircraft-based in-situ measurements of aerosol chemical
composition were conducted in the tropical troposphere over
the Amazon using the High Altitude and Long Range Research
Aircraft (HALO), covering altitudes from the boundary layer
height up to 14.4km. The submicron non-refractory aerosol
was characterized by flash-vaporization/electron
impact-ionization aerosol particle mass spectrometry. The
results show that significant secondary organic aerosol
(SOA) formation by isoprene oxidation products occurs in the
upper troposphere, leading to increased organic aerosol mass
concentrations above 10km altitude. The median organic mass
concentrations in the upper troposphere above 10km range
between 1.0 and 2.1μgm−3 (referring to standard
temperature and pressure; STP) with interquartile ranges of
0.6 to 3.0μgm−3 (STP), representing $70\%$ of the total
submicron non-refractory aerosol particle mass. The presence
of isoprene epoxydiol-derived isoprene secondary organic
aerosol (IEPOX-SOA) was confirmed by marker peaks in the
mass spectra. We estimate the contribution of IEPOX-SOA to
the total organic aerosol in the upper troposphere to be
about $20\%.$ After isoprene emission from vegetation,
oxidation processes occur at low altitudes and/or during
transport to higher altitudes, which may lead to the
formation of IEPOX (one oxidation product of isoprene).
Reactive uptake or condensation of IEPOX on pre-existing
particles leads to IEPOX-SOA formation and subsequently
increasing organic mass in the upper troposphere. This
organic mass increase was accompanied by an increase of the
nitrate mass concentrations, most likely due to NOx
production by lightning. We further found that the ammonium
contained in the aerosol particles is not sufficient to
neutralize the particulate sulfate and nitrate. Analysis of
the ion ratio of NO+ to NO2+ indicated that nitrate in the
upper troposphere exists mainly in the form of organic
nitrate. IEPOX-SOA and organic nitrates are coincident with
each other, indicating that IEPOX-SOA forms in the upper
troposphere either on acidic nitrate particles forming
organic nitrates derived from IEPOX or on already
neutralized organic nitrate aerosol particles.},
