There have been a number of airborne and ground-based measurement campaigns recently (e.g. TOPSE, TRACE-P, INTEX) that
included measurements of peroxy radical and hydroxyl radical concentrations along with measurements of controlling species
and parameters. These radicals are important indicators of our understanding of the fast photochemical processes operative
in the troposphere. This paper will examine our understanding based on these measurements, and will suggest future
observational strategies that could provide needed data to improve the representation of odd hydrogen radical chemistry in
numerical models.
