Very little work has been carried out on this compound, but from recent results it has been proposed that, once produced by phytoplankton, isoprene may play a significant role in cloud formation over the Southern Ocean (Meskhidze and Nenes, 2006). No data set currently exists for isoprene.
Implementation Group 1 also examines these other short-lived components:
Dimethyl Sulphide | Organohalogens | Alkyl nitrates | Methanol | Ammonia | Aerosol and rain
