The following data were collected and stored in the database: Ozone from two monitors (a fast 10Hz chemiluminescence sensor calibrated against a conventional u.v. absorption monitor, and u.v. photometer
These datasets represent meteorological information prepared by KNMI (Peter van Velthoven) for the CARIBIC project. The meteorological analysis of the CARIBIC measurement flights is based on ECWMF first
Instrument: Three Condensation Particle Counters (CPCs, TSI Model 7610) with different lower threshold diameters (4, 12, and 18 nm) measure the number concentration of submicrometer aerosol particles in
Instrument: The CO analyzer for CARIBIC is a modified commercial gas chromatograph. The actual CO detection is based on the reaction of CO with hot mercuric oxide to produce CO2 and elemental mercury,
Air samples were taken during the CARIBIC flights by a whole air sampler (WAS) into 12 21 litre stainless steel canisters. Since most of the sample (typically at about 20 bar, i.e. about 400 L) was consumed
Instrument: Air samples from CARIBIC flights were analysed for CH4, CO2, N2O, SF6, isotopic composition of CO (13CO, C18O, 14CO) and CO2 (13CO2, CO18O). For completeness and to aid interpretation, the
Air samples taken during the CARIBIC flights were analysed for non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC). For completeness and to aid the interpretation of the data, the continuously measured O3 and CO integrated
Instrument OMCAL (Ozone Monitor CALibrator) is a (modified) u.v. absorption monitor (Environnement O3-41M, Paris, France). It operates automatically. See also experiment summary. Data format: Dataset consists
