摘要

Seasonally-resolved upper tropospheric profiles of formaldehyde (HCHO)observed by the ACE Fourier transform spectrometer (ACE-FTS) on anear-global scale are presented for the time period from March 2004 toNovember 2006. Large upper tropospheric HCHO mixing ratios (>150 pptv)are observed during the growing season of the terrestrial biosphere in theNorthern Hemisphere and during the biomass burning season in the Southern Hemisphere.The total errors estimated for the retrieved mixing ratios rangefrom 30 to 40% in the upper troposphere and increase in the lowerstratosphere. The sampled HCHO concentrations are in satisfactory agreementwith previous aircraft and satellite observations with a negative bias(<25%) within observation errors. An overview of the seasonal cycle ofthe upper tropospheric HCHO is given for different latitudes, with a particular focuson mid-to-high latitudes that are well sampled by the observations. A maximum isobserved during summer, i.e. during the growing season, in the northern mid-and high latitudes. The influence of biomass burning is visible in HCHOupper tropospheric concentrations during the September-to-October period inthe southern tropics and subtropics. Comparisons with two state-of-the-artmodels (GEOS-Chem and LMDz-INCA) show that the modelscapture well the seasonal variations observed in the Northern Hemisphere (correlation>0.9). Both models underestimate the summer maximum over Europe andRussia and differences in the emissions used for North America result in agood reproduction of the summer maximum by GEOS-Chem but in an underestimateby LMDz-INCA. Globally, GEOS-Chem reproduces well the observations onaverage over one year but has some difficulties in reproducing the spatialvariability of the observations. LMDz-INCA shows significant bias in theSouthern Hemisphere, perhaps related to an underestimation of methane, butbetter reproduces the temporal and spatial variations. The differencesbetween the models underline the large uncertainties that remain in theemissions of HCHO precursors.
