abstract = {Ozone concentrations in the Po Valley of northern Italy
often exceed international regulations. As both a source of
radicals and an intermediate in the oxidation of most
volatile organic compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde (HCHO) is a
useful tracer for the oxidative processing of hydrocarbons
that leads to ozone production. We investigate the sources
of HCHO in the Po Valley using vertical profile measurements
acquired from the airship Zeppelin NT over an agricultural
region during the PEGASOS 2012 campaign. Using a 1-D model,
the total VOC oxidation rate is examined and discussed in
the context of formaldehyde and ozone production in the
early morning. While model and measurement discrepancies in
OH reactivity are small (on average 3.4 ± $13\%),$ HCHO
concentrations are underestimated by as much as 1.5 ppb
$(45\%)$ in the convective mixed layer. A similar
underestimate in HCHO was seen in the 2002–2003 FORMAT Po
Valley measurements, though the additional source of HCHO
was not identified. Oxidation of unmeasured VOC precursors
cannot explain the missing HCHO source, as measured OH
reactivity is explained by measured VOCs and their
calculated oxidation products. We conclude that local direct
emissions from agricultural land are the most likely source
of missing HCHO. Model calculations demonstrate that
radicals from degradation of this non-photochemical HCHO
source increase model ozone production rates by as much as
0.6 ppb h−1 $(12\%)$ before noon.},
