Short summary

A new oxidation mechanism for biogenic volatile organic compounds is presented and implemented in the large-scale chemistry transport model MAGRITTE. The mechanism accounts for all major recent advances regarding isoprene oxidation. Evaluation against airborne measurements over the US demonstrates a good overall agreement. The mechanism incorporates newly-proposed pathways for formic and acetic acid formation, representing ~ 20 % of their global identified source.
