independently following previous modeling efforts. Furthermore, fragmentation of
organic compounds during chemical aging is an important reaction pathway that
should be included as well. However, the robustness of these schemes, which were
tuned to the measurements in two specific areas, will need to be tested in future
work. For the time being, this work can be viewed as a parameter-fitting exercise
demonstrating that there are multiple sets of 2D-VBS parameters that can result in
predictions consistent with the measurements.
