Concentrations of hydroperoxides as well as the concentrations of O3, SO2 and NOX* in the high-altitude atmosphere were measured using a helicopter.
Hydroperoxides in the high-altitude atmosphere were measured using an HPLC system in a laboratory within 5–10 min after sampling.
The concentrations of hydroperoxides were highest in the atmosphere at altitudes of 6,000 to 8,000 ft.
The potential capacity of SO2 oxidation in the aqueous phase is large during summers over central Japan.
