Long-term global observations of tropospheric formaldehyde retrieved from spaceborne nadir UV sensors

Atmospheric formaldehyde (H2CO) is an intermediate product common to the degradation of many volatile organic compounds and therefore it is a central component of the tropospheric chemistry. While the global formaldehyde background is due to methane oxidation, emissions of non-methane volatile organ...
