Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We have examined the photochemistries of two N(III) species, nitrous acid (HONO) and nitrous acidium ion (H ONO ), in solution and ice. Although the light absorption spectra for these two species are very similar, their photochemical efficiencies are quite different: the OH (and NO) quantum yield for HONO is approximately 8 times greater than that of H ONO at 274 K. The temperature dependent expressions for the ̇OH (and NO) quantum yields are In(OΦ(HONO → OH) = (7.14 ± 0.57) - (2430 ± 160)/Tand ln(Φ(H ONO → OH) = (3.16 ± 0.67) - (1890 ± 180)/T. The temperature dependence for H ONO includes both solution and ice data (255-283 K), suggesting that its ice photochemistry is occurring in a quasi-liquid environment The quantum yields for HONO and H ONO are independent of wavelength, in contrast to NO . On the basis of the pH dependence of N(III) photolysis, our results are consistent with recently reported pK values of 1.7 for H ONO and 2.8 for HONO. Using our results in a kinetic model of nitrogen chemistry illustrates that the fluxes of HONO and NO from sunlit snow can be explained by nitrate photolysis and are pH dependent because of a competition between HONO evaporation and N(III) reactions on ice grains. © 2009 American Chemical Society.
