3 Key questions:  What do the correlations imply? Are they consistent with our current understanding of sources?  How can we use them to constrain source terms?  What constraints can C 2 H 2 -CO correlation provide on OH concentration? Model analysis of CO-HCN-C 2 H 2 -C 2 H 6 system Tasks:  Improve understanding of global C 2 H 2 budget  Constrain regional OH concentration using C 2 H 2 /CO relationship  Improve understanding of HCN oceanic sink with the new column data in Southern Hemisphere  Interpret column and aircraft data in terms of constraining sources using forward model analysis of CO-HCN-C 2 H 2 -C 2 H 6 system
