Global modelling of the total OH reactivity: investigations on the “missing” OH sink and its atmospheric implications

The hydroxyl radical (OH) plays a crucial role in the chemistry of the atmosphere as it initiates the removal of most trace gases. A number of field campaigns have observed the presence of a <q>missing</q> OH sink in a variety of regions across the planet. A comparison of direct measu...
