Anthropogenic Influence
Many forms of anthropogenic influence:
• Land-use change (VOC, NH3, N2O emissions, …)
• Emissions: NH3, SO2, VOCs, NOx, …
Identification of (a) Impact of NOx emissions on VOC processing(b) VOC emission type
(c) Investigation of aerosol glyoxal sink (Jingy Li, Jinqiu Mao)

Slope: Isoprene Sensitivity of HCHO
“Isoprene Sensitivity” effectively represents the response of HCHO to a change in isoprene emissions

Intercept: Background HCHO
“Background” represents HCHO that cannot be directly linked to isoprene emissions (too aged or other precursors)

• Mechanisms maintain shape of dependence (slope)
• Mechanisms underestimate HCHO concentrations (intercept)

Take-Away Points
• HCHO variability driven by both emissions and chemistry
• Up-to-date mechanisms represent isoprene-HCHO relationship well but background HCHO not captured well
• Most of the NOx-driven increase in HCHO reflects faster VOC oxidation
