Popis: | Ultraviolet absorption cross sections of gas-phase formaldehyde were measured over the wavelength range of 235-365 nm using a Bomem Fourier transform spectrometer. The uncertainties in the measured cross sections were 1-2%, including the estimated effect of systematic errors. The sum of the cross sections in the wavelength region between 300 and 365 nm was about 6% larger than the previous best estimate of this sum. These new UV cross sections were used to calculate photodissociation rate constants for formaldehyde for the {phi}{sub 1} photolysis channel (HCHO {yields} H + HCO) and the {phi}{sub 2} photolysis channel (HCHO {yields} H{sub 2} + CO) at solar zenith angles ranging from 0{degree} to 86{degree}. The new photodissociation rate constants were about 8% larger for the {phi}{sub 1} channel and about 10% smaller for the {phi}{sub 2} channel than the currently accepted values for these rate constants. |
