Scientific paper

Surface nitric oxide mixing ratios were measured in the equatorial Pacific region using a chemiluminescent detector. The average NO mixing ratio was about 4 parts per trillion by volume during noontime conditions for nine days of measurements. These NO mixing ratios, which are much lower than any previously reported, imply that the O3 production rate due to CO and CH4 oxidation may be less than previously believed. They also imply smaller OH/HO2 ratios as a consequence of the lower HO2 to OH conversion by NO.
