Constraints on the Loss of Hydroperoxymethyl Thioformate (HPMTF) to Marine Clouds Using Aircraft Observations

Abstract The photochemical oxidation of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) by the hydroxyl radical (OH) contributes to the production and growth of particles and cloud condensation nuclei in the marine boundary layer (MBL). DMS oxidized by OH can go on to form a stable intermediate, hydroper...
