The Core Atmospheric Tracers team, part of the In-Situ Photochemical Tracer Measurements group, provides several airborne tracer measurements to a broad range of NSF LAOF supported field campaigns.
The in-situ observations group is responsible for a number of aircraft trace gas instruments, including instruments that can be requested via the NSA/LAOF process, or collaboratively deployed on other platforms.
The NOx and Ozone measurement group, composed by Alessandro Franchin (PI), and Changmin Cho, (previously led by Andy Weinheimer) specializes in airborne measurements of NO, NO2, and ozone at high time resolution (1 Hz) and at high precision.
The VOC measurements group, led by Dr. Eric Apel, strives to be a world leader in the measurement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the interpretation and synthesis of these measurements in the full context of atmospheric chemistry.
