Short summary
A CIMS utilizing a multi-species negative ion chemistry was designed to measure peroxides and organic acids throughout the troposphere from an aircraft. Prior CIMS used a single reagent ion, and the multi-ion approach has the potential to be a significant step forward, although one with analytical risk. Here, a chemical kinetics numerical model is presented which simulates its past water vapor and pressure dependence, providing a test bed to characterize its use in future environments.
