abstract = {A method for determining formaldehyde mixing ratios in
tropospheric air has been modified for the additional
measurement of acetaldehyde. The technique is based on
stripping of the aldehydes from the air into an aqueous
2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine solution. The reaction products,
the 2,4-dinitrophenzlhydrazones of the respective aldehydes,
are separated using high performance liquid chromatography
and quantified by UV absorption. In clean air, measurements
can be performed with a time resolution of two hours. An
interference of the formaldehyde determination performed
with the modified technique is discussed . It was noticed
only in continental air in summer and led to increased
formaldehyde mixing ratios. For the detection of
acetaldehyde, no interference has been observed.
Formaldehyde and acetaldehyde mixing ratios were determined
in continental air and over the Atlantic ocean during two
cruises of the German research vessel "Polarstern" from 30
$^\circ$S and 50 $^\circ$N. In slightly polluted continental
air, the mean mixing ratios of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde
were 1.53 $\pm$ 0.76 ppb and 0.52 $\pm$ 0.61 ppb, much
higher than the mean values of 0.4 $\pm$ 0.19 ppb for
formaldehyde and 0.19 $\pm$ 0.13 ppb for acetaldehyde
observed in marine air. Simultaneous measurements of ethene
and propene concentrations showed a similar latitudinal
distribution as formaldehyde mixing ratios, confirming the
importance of alkenes for the aldehyde production predicted
by models. The influence of nonmethane hydrocarbons is
further indicated by the fact that the formaldehyde mixing
ratios are correlated with the sum of the C$_{2}$ - C$_{4}$
hydrocarbon concentrations in both, marine and continental
air. On sunny days, diurnal variations with maxima during
the early afternoon and nocturnal minima were observed for
both aldehydes in continental air as well as in maritime
air. The diurnal profiles of the measurements in maritime
air are compared to the results of a 1 D boundary layer
model. In continental air during the day the measured ozone
and formaldehyde concentrations showed a positive
correlation, while the diurnal variations were
anticorrelated in marine air. This anticorrelation indicates
photochemical estruction of ozone.},
