Abstract: This lecture is an introduction to
tropospheric chemistry. You will learn about trace gases in the
troposphere whose reactivity lead to a multifaceted (and multi-phase)
chemistry, significantly more complicated than that of the
stratosphere. We will focus on the major chemical reactions/cycles in
the troposphere, make you familiar with the quantitative treatment of
those, and introduce you to the different measurement techniques used
for individual trace gases of importance. You will learn what we know
about the creation of “summer smog”, and why ozone is such an important
trace component. In addition the coupling between changes in the
chemical
composition of the troposphere and climate will be addressed.
