Scientific paper

The roughly 1 percent/year increase in tropospheric methane and roughly 2 percent/year increase in tropospheric carbon monoxide deduced from recent analyses of ground-based solar infrared spectra recorded in 1950 and 1951 have very important implications for the photochemistry and chemistry of the troposphere. Photochemical calculations indicate that as a result of the increase of methane and carbon monoxide since 1950-51, levels of the hydroxyl radical, the key species in the photochemistry of the troposphere, may have decreased by about 25 percent.
