A new photolysis laser-induced fluorescence instrument for the detection of H2O and HDO in the lower stratosphere.
We present a new instrument, Hoxotope, for the in situ measurement of H(2)O and its heavy deuterium isotopologue (HDO) in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere aboard the NASA WB-57. Sensitive measurements of deltaD are accomplished through the vacuum UV photolysis of water followed by laser-induced fluorescence detection of the resultant OH and OD photofragments. The photolysis laser-in...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “A new airborne laser-induced fluorescence instrument for in situ detection of Formaldehyde throughout the troposphere and lower stratosphere” by M. Cazorla et al
This paper presents a summary of a new laser-induced fluorescence instrument for airborne measurements of formaldehyde. As mentioned in the paper, accurate and precise measurements of formaldehyde are needed as they can provide an important constraint to test current models of atmospheric chemistry as well as provide retrieval validation for satellite measurements. The paper provides a detailed...
متن کاملA new airborne laser-induced fluorescence instrument for in situ detection of formaldehyde throughout the troposphere and lower stratosphere
The NASA In Situ Airborne Formaldehyde (ISAF) instrument is a high-performance laser-based detector for gas-phase formaldehyde (HCHO). ISAF uses rotational-state specific laser excitation at 353 nm for laserinduced fluorescence (LIF) detection of HCHO. A number of features make ISAF ideal for airborne deployment, including (1) a compact, low-maintenance fiber laser, (2) a single-pass design for...
متن کاملA new cavity based absorption instrument for detection of water isotopologues in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere.
We describe here the Harvard integrated cavity output spectroscopy (ICOS) isotope instrument, a mid-IR infrared spectrometer using ICOS to make in situ measurements of the primary isotopologues of water vapor (H(2)O, HDO, and H(2) (18)O) in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS). The long path length provided by ICOS provides the sensitivity and accuracy necessary to measure these ...
متن کاملLaser-Induced Fluorescence Instrument for the Detection of Tropospheric OH Radicals
An instrument for the measurement of troposphric OH radical concentrations using a laser-induced fluorescence technique has been developed. Ambient air is expanded through a pinhole into a low-pressure fluorescence cell and irradiated by the second harmonic of a dye laser at a high repetition rate of 1 kHz. The OH radicals are electronically excited using A 2 Σ + ( ν ′ = 0) ← X 2 Π ( ν ′′ = 0) ...
