Short summary

The secondary organic aerosol (SOA) produced by the photooxidation of isoprene with and without inorganic seed is simulated using the Unified Partitioning Aerosol Phase Reaction (UNIPAR) model, assuming a single homogenously mixed organic–inorganic phase. UNIPAR is used to determine the sensitivity of isoprene SOA formation to NO_x, aerosol acidity and aerosol liquid water content. Isoprene SOA is found to be most sensitive to aerosol acidity but dynamically related to all three parameters.
