TROPOMI Level 2 Formaldehyde (HCHO) Total Column Products in NRT - Sentinel-5PLong term satellite observations of tropospheric formaldehyde HCHO are essential to
support air quality and chemistry-climate related studies from the regional to the
global scale. Formaldehyde is an intermediate gas in almost all oxidation chains of
non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC), leading eventually to CO2. Non-Methane
Volatile Organic Compounds (NMVOCs) are, together with NOx, CO and CH4, among the
most important precursors of tropospheric O3. NMVOCs also produce secondary organic
aerosols and influence the concentrations of OH, the main tropospheric oxidant.
