abstract = {The photooxidation of pinonaldehyde, one product of the
α-pinene degradation, was investigated in the atmospheric
simulation chamber SAPHIR under natural sunlight at low NO
concentrations (<0.2 ppbv) with and without an added
hydroxyl radical (OH) scavenger. With a scavenger,
pinonaldehyde was exclusively removed by photolysis, whereas
without a scavenger, the degradation was dominated by
reaction with OH. In both cases, the observed rate of
pinonaldehyde consumption was faster than predicted by an
explicit chemical model, the Master Chemical Mechanism (MCM,
version 3.3.1). In the case with an OH scavenger, the
observed photolytic decay can be reproduced by the model if
an experimentally determined photolysis frequency is used
instead of the parameterization in the MCM. A good fit is
obtained when the photolysis frequency is calculated from
the measured solar actinic flux spectrum, absorption cross
sections published by Hallquist et al. (1997), and an
effective quantum yield of 0.9. The resulting photolysis
frequency is 3.5 times faster than the parameterization in
the MCM. When pinonaldehyde is mainly removed by reaction
with OH, the observed OH and hydroperoxy radical (HO$_2$)
concentrations are underestimated in the model by a factor
of 2. Using measured HO2 as a model constraint brings
modeled and measured OH concentrations into agreement. This
suggests that the chemical mechanism includes all relevant
OH-producing reactions but is missing a source for HO$_2$.
The missing HO$_2$ source strength of
(0.8 to 1.5) ppbv h$^{−1}$ is similar to the rate
of the pinonaldehyde consumption of up to
2.5 ppbv h$^{−1}$. When the model is constrained by
HO$_2$ concentrations and the experimentally derived
photolysis frequency, the pinonaldehyde decay is well
represented. The photolysis of pinonaldehyde yields
0.18 ± 0.20 formaldehyde molecules at NO concentrations
of less than 200 pptv, but no significant acetone
formation is observed. When pinonaldehyde is also oxidized
by OH under low NO conditions (maximum 80 pptv), yields of
acetone and formaldehyde increase over the course of the
experiment from 0.2 to 0.3 and from 0.15 to 0.45,
respectively. Fantechi et al. (2002) proposed a degradation
mechanism based on quantum-chemical calculations, which is
considerably more complex than the MCM scheme and contains
additional reaction pathways and products. Implementing
these modifications results in a closure of the
model–measurement discrepancy for the products acetone and
formaldehyde, when pinonaldehyde is degraded only by
photolysis. In contrast, the underprediction of formed
acetone and formaldehyde is worsened compared to model
results by the MCM, when pinonaldehyde is mainly degraded in
the reaction with OH. This shows that the current mechanisms
lack acetone and formaldehyde sources for low NO conditions
like in these experiments. Implementing the modifications
suggested by Fantechi et al. (2002) does not improve the
model–measurement agreement of OH and HO$_2$.},
