Conclusions

• Mean OH concentration at Finokalia during MINOS:

4.7 x 106 molecules cm-3 (Spivakovsky et al., 2000: 2-3 x 106 cm-3, same region, July, 700 hPa;1.5 x 106 cm-3, 36°N zonal and monthly average, July, 1000 hPa)

• Primary production via ozone photolysis and reaction of O(1D) with H2O was the dominant source of OH (R2 = 0.8806)

• Fairly good agreement with present model calculations

of the regional OH balance during MINOS (e.g., poster by Baboukas et al., oral presentation by Lawrence et al., this session)
