Tae Siek Ree and colleagues have written a very interesting and timely article, for which the ACP editors give the following arguments:

• There is much interest in the H₂ budget because of the likely extensive use of H₂ in the future. Thus the subject matter is a worthwhile one. It is also a good tracer for important atmopsheric processes.
• From the atmospheric chemistry point of view, H₂ has been much neglected. The paper shows how quickly science can react. Much of the previous work was all based on up-scaling, not on actual atmospheric information.
