Dear Colleagues,
The NASA Panel for Data Evaluation is pleased to announce the publication of
the document "Chemical Kinetics and Photochemical Data for Atmospheric
Studies," JPL Publication 06-2. This is the fifteenth in a series of
critical evaluations of laboratory data used for modeling of atmospheric
processes with relevance to Earth and planetary atmospheres. While JPL06-2
contains the entire set of recommended parameters, particular emphasis has
been placed on the following topics in this release:
o Photochemical data, including cross sections and quantum yields for ozone,
nitrogen oxides, carbonyl compounds, and halogen oxides. This section has
been significantly expanded and updated.
o Sulfur chemistry, including reactions of dimethyl sulfoxide, methane
sulfinic acid, and bimolecular reactions of weakly bound adducts. This
section has been significantly expanded and updated.
o Tropospheric hydrocarbon chemistry, including reactions of C3 compounds.
o Reactions of atomic chlorine with halocarbons.
o Heterogeneous processes emphasizing processes on liquid water, water ice,
alumina, and solid alkali halide salts.
o Thermodynamic parameters (standard entropies and enthalpies of formation).
New formatting features in this evaluation include internal links between
tables and notes for rapid browsing, revision histories for all
recommendations, and a web site from which tables of photochemical cross
sections may be downloaded in text format.
JPL06-2 is available as a free download (in Adobe Acrobat format) from
http://jpldataeval.jpl.nasa.gov. Users of the evaluation may join a mailing
list to receive notifications concerning releases of new publications and
errata. For further information, please contact [log in to unmask]
