Comparison between model estimations of formaldehyde contents in atmospheric columns and satellite measurement - pilot study
2013
Abstract
Atmospheric formation of formaldehyde from methane, alkanes, alkenes and isoprene is briefly described in this article. Surface emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds calculated by means of model MEGAN are used as input data for model of atmospheric chemical reactions CAMx.
Results of model estimations of the formaldehyde contents in atmospheric columns obtained from the model CAMx are outlined then. Preliminary comparison of these model outputs with results of satellite measurements is presented in connection with emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds.
