Description
An airborne cavity enhanced spectrometer that uses two mirrors to create an optical path of several tens of kilometers within a 50 cm cell. It measures glyoxal, nitrous acid and nitrogen dioxide (30 pptv in 10 seconds for glyoxal and NO2) and has been deployed on the NOAA WP-3D aircraft and at ground sites.
