2. 2  Oceans cover 70% of Earth’s surface, but marine emissions are highly certain;  Marine emissions play oversized roles in cloud formation in pristine environment; Isoprene (CH2=CH-C(CH3)=CH2) is a biogenic hydrocarbon emitted by trees, grasses and ocean phytoplankton. Marine Isoprene Emission  Anthropogenic emissions decreasing and ozone standards tightened  marine emissions and chemistry become increasingly important;  Marine chemistry being added to CMAQ  carefully verified emissions; There is a similar need for climate models and Earth System models.
