Abstract
The global 3-D chemistry-transport model, STOCHEM-CRI (Utembe et al., 2010), has been used to simulate the global distribution of organic hydroperoxides (ROOH) for both present day and pre-industrial scenarios. Globally, the formation of ROOH is solely from the reaction between RO2 and HO2, being more significant under NOx-limited conditions; here the self and cross reactions of RO2 and HO2 radicals dominate over their reaction with NO. The predominant global loss processes for ROOH are reaction with OH (95\%) and by photolysis (4.4\%) with a minor loss (
