Minor contributions of daytime monoterpenes are major contributors to atmospheric reactivity by D. F. McGlynn, G. Frazier, L. E. R. Barry, M. T. Lerdau, M. T. Lerdau, S. E. Pusede, G. Isaacman-VanWertz

“…Once biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are emitted into the atmosphere, they rapidly react with atmospheric oxidants, which has significant impacts on ozone and aerosol budgets. However, diurnal, seasonal, and interannual variability in these species are poorly captured in emissions models due to a lack of long-term, chemically speciated measurements. …”
