英文摘要	Nitrogen isotope fractionations between nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2) play a significant role in determining the nitrogen isotopic compositions (15N) of atmospheric reactive nitrogen. Both the equilibrium isotopic exchange between NO and NO2 molecules and the isotope effects occurring during the NOx photochemical cycle are important, but both are not well constrained. The nighttime and daytime isotopic fractionations between NO and NO2 in an atmospheric simulation chamber at atmospherically relevant NOx evels were measured. Then, the impact of NOx level and O2 photolysis rate on the combined isotopic fractionation (equilibrium isotopic exchange and photochemical cycle) between O and NO2 was calculated. It was found that the isotope effects occurring during the NOx photochemical cycle can be described using a single fractionation factor, designated the Leighton cycle isotope effect (LCIE). The results howed that at room temperature, the fractionation factor of nitrogen isotopic exchange is 1:02890:0019, and the fractionation factor of LCIE (when O3 solely controls the oxidation from NO to NO2) is 0:9900:005. The measured LCIE factor showed good agreement with previous field measurements, suggesting that it could be applied in an ambient environment, although future work is needed to assess the isotopic fractionation factors of NOCRO2=HO2!NO2. The esults were used to model the NOaNO2 isotopic fractionations under several NOx conditions. The model suggested hat isotopic exchange was the dominant factor when NOx > 20 nmol mol 1, while LCIE was more important at low NOx concentrations (< 1 nmol mol 1) and high rates of NO2 photolysis. These findings provided a useful tool to quantify the isotopic fractionations between tropospheric NO and NO2, which can be applied in future field observations and atmospheric chemistry models. © Author(s) 2020.
