FORMAT: Formaldehyde as a tracer of oxidation in the troposphere

Description: Das Projekt "FORMAT: Formaldehyde as a tracer of oxidation in the troposphere" wird/wurde gefördert durch: Kommission der Europäischen Gemeinschaften Brüssel. Es wird/wurde ausgeführt durch: Paul Scherrer Institut, Forschungsbereich Allgemeine Energie.The main objective of FORMAT is to obtain a better knowledge of the regional and global distribution of formaldehyde, an important intermediate in the oxidation of hydrocarbons to CO and a soerce of oxidative radicals. This can lead to better prediction of smog episodes and to better quantification of emissions from biomass burning. A socioeconomic workpackage will quantify the benefits from the project. The project will lead to a better overview of the formaldehyde distribution both regionally in the Po valley (chosen as atypical polluted area) and on a global scale throegh analysis of satellite data. This will again give us better insight in the extent of fossil fuel and biomass burning, both in Europe and globally. The various methods for measuring formaldehyde will be intercompared, and it is the aim to arrive at a better agreement between the various techniques. Atmospheric chemistry models be compared to field measurements. It is the aim that the tools used to warn authorities and the public in the case of smog episodes will be improved.
