2020 unpublished
The paper presents MAXDOAS and FTIR HCHO measurements around Mexico City, for a period of about 6 years. MAXDOAS data at several viewing directions are included, showing horizontal inhomogeneities. Comparisons between the MAXDOAS data and FTIR are presented, resulting in MAXDOAS larger values, from about 5% to 28% depending on the direction. An FTIR background site is also briefly presented, with its daily and seasonal variations. The scientific content of the paper fits well the scope of AMT
