ARM Aerial Facility (AAF) Carbon Monoxide Monitor (aafco)

Browse Data

This dataset contains trace gas concentrations from the Los Gatos N2O/CO Analyzer. Research based on ICOS (Intra-Cavity Off-Axis Spectrometry) using a Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL).Trace gas measurements are taken from a rear-facing inlet with a outer diameter. The instrument is calibrated before each flight and in flight using a standard, onboard cylinder of balanced N2O, CO, and SO2.
