Evaluation of the volatility basis-set approach for the simulation of organic aerosol formation in the Mexico City metropolitan area

New primary and secondary organic aerosol modules have been added to PMCAMx, a three dimensional chemical transport model (CTM), for use with the SAPRC99 chemistry mechanism based on recent smog chamber studies. The new modelling framework is based on the volatility basis-set approach: both primary...
