LES study of the impact of moist thermals on the oxidative capacity of the atmosphere in southern West Africa

The hydroxyl radical (OH) is a highly reactive species and plays a key role in the oxidative capacity of the atmosphere. We explore the potential impact of a convective boundary layer on reconciling the calculation–measurement differences for OH reactivity (the inverse of OH lifetime) attributabl...
