Trends in global tropospheric hydroxyl radical and methane lifetime since 1850 from AerChemMIP
2020 · cited by 103
The study analyzes historical hydroxyl radical data and links long-term trends directly to reductions in atmospheric methane lifetime.

The analysis

The retrieved papers provide robust, multi-decadal modeling and observational evidence demonstrating that spatial and temporal fluctuations in tropospheric hydroxyl radical (OH) concentrations directly drive variations in the atmospheric lifetime and chemical sink of methane.
