The diffusion and solubility of formaldehyde (HCHO) in ice were measured at 15° by exposing large single crystals of ice to low vapor pressures of HCHO (PHCHO) for several days. The solubility was found to be ( 30 ± 3) × 106 mol L1 at 15° under PHCHO = 1.7 × 102 Pa. The diffusion coefficient is of the order of 8 × 1011 cm2 s1 at 15°. Extrapolation of these preliminary results to the lower PHCHO values observed in the polar atmospheric boundary layer is consistent with the hypothesis that the concentration of HCHO in aged snow crystals is governed by thermodynamic equilibrium.
