16 IRR Integrated Reaction Rate
IRR file can be a full analysis including all reactions or a partial analysis controlled via the command file There are a number of pre-programmed terms that can be used for species or a defined family of species PROD[species] LOSS[species] NET[species] Or a new term can be defined specifying the reactions to be included PA is controlled by the command file (~/data/procan/pacp.inp) © Imperial College London

30 NOx and VOC sensitivity
Two methods were used to study NOx and VOC sensitivity. Brute force method – reduce the emissions by 30% and monitor the change in ozone Use Indicator species © Imperial College London

31 Use of Indicators Indicators of measurable species can be used to test if the model represents the chemical process correctly. NOx sensitivity O3/NOy O3/NOx VOC sensitivity H2O2/HNO3 Sillman (1995) J. of Geophysical Research-Atmospheres © Imperial College London
