TY - JOUR AU - Röth, E.-P. AU - Ehhalt, Dieter TI - A simple formulation of the CH2O photolysis quantum yields JO - Atmospheric chemistry and physics / Discussions VL - 15 IS - 5 SN - 1680-7375 CY - Katlenburg-Lindau PB - EGU M1 - FZJ-2015-01951 SP - 7239 - 7266 PY - 2015 AB - New expressions for the various wavelength – dependent photolysis quantum yields of CH2O, Φj, are presented. They are based on combinations of functions of the type Ai/(1 + exp[−(1/λ −1/λ 0i)/bi]). The parameters Ai, bi, and λ0i which have a physical meaning are obtained by fits to the measured data of the Φji available from the literature. The altitude dependence of the photolysis frequencies resulting from the new quantum yield expressions are compared to those derived from the Φj recommended by JPL and IUPAC.
