Radiative efficiencies for fluorinated esters: indirect global warming potentials of hydrofluoroethers.
Density Functional Theory (DFT) has been used with an empirically-derived correction for the wavenumbers of vibrational band positions to predict the infrared spectra of several fluorinated esters (FESs). Radiative efficiencies (REs) were then determined using the method of Pinnock et al. and these were used with atmospheric lifetimes from the literature to determine the direct global warming p...
متن کاملPerfluorocarbons in the global atmosphere: tetrafluoromethane, hexafluoroethane, and octafluoropropane
We present atmospheric baseline growth rates from the 1970s to the present for the longlived, strongly infrared-absorbing perfluorocarbons (PFCs) tetrafluoromethane (CF4), hexafluoroethane (C2F6), and octafluoropropane (C3F8) in both hemispheres, measured with improved accuracies (∼1–2%) and precisions (<0.3%, or <0.2 ppt (parts per trillion dry air mole fraction), for CF4; <1.5%, or <0.06 ppt,...

The atmospheric chemistry of several gases used in industrial applications, C(4)F(9)OC(2)H(5) (HFE-7200), C(4)F(9)OCH(3) (HFE-7100), C(3)F(7)OCH(3) (HFE-7000) and C(3)F(7)CH(2)OH, has been studied. The discharge flow technique coupled with mass-spectrometric detection has been used to study the kinetics of their reactions with OH radicals as a function of temperature. The infrared spectra of th...
متن کاملRelative integrated IR absorption in the atmospheric window is not the same as relative radiative efficiency.
In their paper “Design strategies to minimize the radiative efficiency of global warming molecules,” Bera et al. (1) mistakenly equate the relative magnitudes of integrated absorption within the atmospheric window (800–1,400 cm) with relative radiative efficiencies of different molecules. Radiative efficiency is defined as the change in net radiation at the tropopause caused by a given change i...
متن کاملDesign strategies to minimize the radiative efficiency of global warming molecules.
A strategy is devised to screen molecules based on their radiative efficiency. The methodology should be useful as one additional constraint when determining the best molecule to use for an industrial application. The strategy is based on the results of a recent study where we examined molecular properties of global warming molecules using ab initio electronic structure methods to determine whi...
