Global distributions of methanol and formic acid retrieved for the first time from the IASI/MetOp thermal infrared sounder

Methanol (CH<sub>3</sub>OH) and formic acid (HCOOH) are among the most abundant volatile organic compounds present in the atmosphere. In this work, we derive the global distributions of these two organic species using for the first time the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding...
