abstract = {HCHO and CHOCHO are important trace gases in the
atmosphere, serving as tracers of VOC oxidations. In the
past decade, high concentrations of HCHO and CHOCHO have
been observed for the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region in
southern China. In this study, we performed box model
simulations of HCHO and CHOCHO at a semi-rural site in the
PRD, focusing on understanding their sources and sinks and
factors influencing the CHOCHO to HCHO ratio (RGF). The
model was constrained by the simultaneous measurements of
trace gases and radicals. Isoprene oxidation by OH radicals
is the major pathway forming HCHO, followed by degradations
of alkenes, aromatics, and alkanes. The production of CHOCHO
is dominated by isoprene and aromatic degradation;
contributions from other NMHCs are of minor importance.
Compared to the measurement results, the model predicts
significant higher HCHO and CHOCHO concentrations.
Sensitivity studies suggest that fresh emissions of
precursor VOCs, uptake of HCHO and CHOCHO by aerosols, fast
vertical transport, and uncertainties in the treatment of
dry deposition all have the potential to contribute
significantly to this discrepancy. Our study indicates that,
in addition to chemical considerations (i.e., VOC
composition, OH and NOx levels), atmospheric physical
processes (e.g., transport, dilution, deposition) make it
difficult to use the CHOCHO to HCHO ratio as an indicator
for the origin of air mass composition.},
