Abstract
The review critically examines the limited number of recent near surface measurements of hydroxyl radicals in urban and rural areas. Predictions of average tropospheric, hemispheric and/or zonal concentrations of hydroxyl radicals derived from methylchloroform and carbon monoxide concentrations and models are discussed. The limitations of one and two dimensional model predictions of zonal and seasonal hydroxyl concentrations received detailed consideration. Of special concern on a regional scale are cloud cover effects on the penetration of ultraviolet radiation below 320 micrometers which is critical to the subsequent reactions forming hydroxyl radicals.
