CARIBIC DOAS observations of nitrous acid and formaldehyde in a large convective cloud

The chemistry in large thunderstorm clouds is influenced by local lightning-NO<sub>x</sub> production and uplift of boundary layer air. Under these circumstances trace gases like nitrous acid (HONO) or formaldehyde (HCHO) are expected to be formed or to reach the tropopause region. Howev...
