<p>The hydroxyl radical (OH) is one of the most important species in atmospheric chemistry. It plays a dominant role in the oxidation of many other species in the troposphere, such as anthropogenic pollutants. Direct in-situ and satellite measurements of OH are scarce due to its short lifetime (around 1 second) and low abundance. Other indirect methods of inferring global mean OH have been established, such as using methyl chloroform as a tracer. However because of its recent … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
