abstract = {Two gas-phase formaldehyde (HCHO) measurement techniques, a
modified commercial wet-chemical instrument based on
Hantzsch fluorimetry and a custom-built instrument based on
fiber laser-induced fluorescence (FILIF), were deployed at
the atmospheric simulation chamber SAPHIR (Simulation of
Atmospheric PHotochemistry In a large Reaction Chamber) to
compare the instruments' performances under a range of
conditions. Thermolysis of para-HCHO and ozonolysis of
1-butene were used as HCHO sources, allowing for
calculations of theoretical HCHO mixing ratios. Calculated
HCHO mixing ratios are compared to measurements, and the two
measurements are also compared. Experiments were repeated
under dry and humid conditions (RH < $2\%$ and RH > $60\%)$
to investigate the possibility of a water artifact in the
FILIF measurements. The ozonolysis of 1-butene also allowed
for the investigation of an ozone artifact seen in some
Hantzsch measurements in previous intercomparisons. Results
show that under all conditions the two techniques are well
correlated (R2 ≥ 0.997), and linear regression statistics
show measurements agree with within stated uncertainty
$(15\%$ FILIF + $5\%$ Hantzsch). No water or ozone artifacts
are identified. While a slight curvature is observed in some
Hantzsch vs. FILIF regressions, the potential for variable
instrument sensitivity cannot be attributed to a single
instrument at this time. Measurements at low concentrations
highlight the need for a secondary method for testing the
purity of air used in instrument zeroing and the need for
further FILIF White cell outgassing experiments.},
