Short summary

Nighttime oxidation of organic compounds emitted from vegetation produce aerosol particles affecting climate and human health. Here we apply state-of the-art chemical characterization for a detailed study on the oxidation of limonene initiated by the nitrate radical. We now have the identity of major nitrated products and their thermal properties. Including a cluster analysis, through this study, new knowledge supporting modeling and field observations of organic nitrates is gained.
