Extended Data Fig. 4: Sensitivity studies of the HIO3 production towards changes in O3, H2O, and temperature.
From: The gas-phase formation mechanism of iodic acid as an atmospheric aerosol source
For the ranges probed there is no pronounced sensitivity of HIO3 production (normalised by IOIO production) observed. The linear rate order lines (long dashes) assume either O3 or H2O were controlling the rate limiting step towards HIO3 formation. No such dependence is observed. The robustness in HIO3 formation is evidence that neither O3 nor H2O (nor temperature) control the rate limiting step under the conditions probed. Measurements and predictions of the extended model agree within uncertainties. Measurements: 5-95 % whiskers, 25-75 % boxes, median. Model: median only. The grey shading indicates the combined measurement model uncertainty (65 %, 2 − σ standard deviation).
