These measurements were compared with synoptic weather data and regional and local upper air soundings in an effort to characterize NO and NO<em>_Y</em> in the planetary boundary layer in terms of their vertical distributions, diurnal profile, and related transport mechanisms. A pronounced decreasing vertical gradient in both NO and NO<em>_Y</em> mixing ratios was observed, with a distinct diurnal cycle and nocturnal minimum. Furthermore, the results suggest that NO and NO<em>_Y</em> were mixed upward from the surface during passage of synoptic meteorological features (and their associated vertical motions). Most importantly, the data reveals that mixing ratios of NO and NO<em>_Y</em> at the elevated heights did not exist in sufficient concentrations above the inversion layer in the nocturnal boundary layer to be mixed downward upon breakup of the nocturnal inversion and affect surface measurements. Instead, concentrations of NO and NO<em>_Y</em> were apparently mixed upward during the morning and midday hours by vertical boundary layer processes. Thus, the association of observed increases in surface NO and NO<em>_Y</em> mixing ratios based solely on downward mixing processes is not justified in all cases, and other sources and processes for these increases must be considered, particularly over rural areas.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100235,"journal":{"name":"Chemosphere - Global Change Science","volume":"3 1","pages":"Pages 7-23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1465-9972(00)00028-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91760505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because the Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) flux in the present-day world varies markedly with both vegetation cover and with climate, changes in the emission of VOCs may have damped or amplified past climate changes.</p><p>Here we conduct a preliminary study on possible changes in VOC emission resulting from broad scale vegetation and climate change since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). During the general period of the LGM (∼25–17,000 years before present {BP}), global forest cover was considerably less than in the present potential situation. The change in vegetation would have resulted in a ∼30% reduction in VOC emission at 643 Tg y⁻¹ relative to the present potential vegetation (912.9 Tg y⁻¹). Uncertainty in global vegetation cover during the LGM bounds the VOC estimate by ±15%.
