- Abstract:
- Funding is requested to provide a PDRA for one year to develop and test a prototype, compact, fast-response sensor for tropospheric IO and NO2 at concentrations as low as 2 and 20 ppt respectively with only a few seconds of signal averaging. The instrument will be the first sensor for IO and NO2 to use the latest cavity enhanced detection methods together with a blue diode laser, and will detect concentrations and fluxes of these species directly, without the need for calibration. The sensitivity will first be tested in the laboratory prior to design and deployment of a field instrument. Performance and quantitative accuracy will be verified by comparison of NO2 measurements with existing techniques.
