Systematic reduction of complex tropospheric chemical mechanisms, Part II: Lumping using a time-scale based approach

This paper presents a formal method of species lumping that can be applied automatically to intermediate compounds within detailed and complex tropospheric chemical reaction schemes. The method is based on grouping species with reference to their chemical lifetimes and reactivity structures. A metho...
