Abstract
Abstract A marine cloud includes a limited number of reactive compounds. Major species are hydrogen peroxide and ozone which are activated by photochemistry and RedOx cycling with trace metals. If we put the trace metals into the reactivity scheme, catalytic cycles appear and completely drive the reactivity even at the very low concentrations found in non polluted areas. This increases the speed of the reactions involving OH, HO2 and O2− radicals. Under these conditions, the reaction of an added dissolved reactive species can be well fitted by a first order law decrease of the degraded compound. This leads to significant simplifications in a reaction mechanism which is suitable for modelling aqueous phase chemistry in unpolluted marine clouds.
