  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: FAGE measurements of tropospheric HO with measurements and model of interferences Author: Hard, Thomas M., Mehrabzadeh, A. A., Chan, C. Y., O'Brien, Robert J. Year: 1992 Ambient HO measurements by low-pressure laser-excited fluorescence with chemical modulation, and supporting ozone and water-vapor data, are presented for periods in May and August 1987. The observed peak daytime ambient HO concentrations in Oregon are in the range (2.5 to 8) times106 molecules cm⁻³ and show small negative offsets due to photochemical interference. Direct measurements of the interference at fixed [O₃] give the dependence on ambient [H₂O] and on the modulating reagent [isobutane]. At ambient [O₃]=30 p.p.b. and 10 torr H₂O, with excitation and detection at a total pressure of 4 torr, the net interference is equal to [HO]=-1.3times10⁶ molecule cm⁻³.
