Abstract

Vegetation emits biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) into the atmosphere which, once oxidised, may partition into the particle-phase forming secondary organic aerosol (SOA). In this thesis, the climatic impacts of biogenic SOA are quantified, using a detailed global aerosol microphysics model, and the sensitivity of these radiative effects to the representation of various atmospheric processes is examined.
