226-356 nm, data (averages over 1-nm intervals of the high-resolution spectrum centered at the wavelength given in the first column) of

R. Meller and G.K. Moortgat, "Temperature dependence of the absorption cross sections of formaldehyde between 223 and 323 K in the wavelength range 225-375 nm," J. Geophys. Res. 105(D6), 7089-7101 (2000); DOI: 10.1029/1999JD901074 ,

and empirical fit of the temperature dependence (223-323 K):

σ(λ, T) = σ(298 K) + Γ × (T - 298 K) with the temperature coefficients
