| _Caveat_: I am not a specialist. In fact, I am not an atmospheric
| scientist at all - I am a physical chemist studying gas-phase
| reactions who talks to atmospheric scientists. In this part in
| particular I am well outside the range of my own expertise.
| I have discussed some aspects of this subject with specialists,
| but I am solely responsible for everything written here, including
| any errors. On the other hand, if you find this document in an
| online archive somewhere, I am not responsible for any *other*
| information that may happen to reside in that archive. This document
| should not be cited in publications off the net; rather, it should
