Core Chemistry Instrumentation

Trace and greenhouse gas spectrometers

The upgraded suite of core atmospheric chemistry instrumentation will include a range of trace and greenhouse gas spectrometers. The data management systems will be overhauled, with a new data acquisition and control system, data visualisation software compatible with both FAAM’s DECADES-2 system and other laboratories outside NCAS and the FAAM Airborne Laboratory. The user interface will be upgraded with remote control and science/diagnostics monitoring capabilities. We are installing a dedicated trace gas inlet (unheated) and associated pressure/flow control and in-flight calibration hardware.
