The temperature of the elements is held constant and the water content calculated from first principles based on the measured power through each element. Two types of vanes have been used, with the newer types, identified as VANETYPE 1T2L1R in the flight constants, having two LWC sense elements, one reference element and one TWC cone.

The fluorescence cell is maintained at a low pressure, typically around 7.5 Torr, and constant temperature, typically 40°C.\r\nThe monochromator optical filters, providing the collimated 150nm source from a plasma lamp, are flushed with mass flow controlled and filtered (via Entegris GateKeeper N2 purifier) high-purity (N6.0) nitrogen to prevent ingress of highly absorbing molecular oxygen or/and contaminating species such as CO. The plasma lamp itself requires a constant supply of 0.25% CO2/AR (N6.0), also mass flow controlled, in order to produce emissions of the required intensity.\r\n\r\nData\r\nThe AL5002 exhibits a very fast response to changes in ambient CO concentrations. The manufacturer quotes 0.1s for a 10-90% response time (albeit with a 2s signal delay). FAAM data are output at 1 Hz from the analyser and presented similarly at 1hz in the Core data.\r\nThe residence time of sample in the inlet line is not negligible. Calculation of the flow rates and length of tubing in the sample inlet suggest a residence time of over 10 seconds. CO data (eg icon CO Time Lag (21.77 kB 2009-12-14 13:22:02) certainly show a time lag in flight, typically of 15 seconds, the measured lag is additionally associated with a small amount of smoothing in the data. FAAM are working to correct this.\r\nOver the course of a flight, the CO analyser sensitivity (Hz/ppbv) and background (Hz) both tend to change (where Hz is the analyser's photomultiplier raw photon count rate, per sec). FAAM's standard practice is to calibrate these quantities periodically through a flight by means of an on-board CO/Air standard and Sofnocat 514 CO scrubber (internal to analyser) . These calibrations take around 150s, and are usually performed where flight levels change significantly. No CO measurement data are available during these times and as such the precise location of calibrations is usually a matter for consultation with the Mission Scientist of the day. Instrument calibrations are automatically applied to the data as they are performed; unfortunately this can result in apparent step changes either side of a calibration, where the sensitivity/background has changed significantly. FAAM are seeking to improve this method.\r\nThe analogue output from the instrument is logged by the aircraft data recording system and scaled accordingly to produce a concentration measurement (ppbv).\r\nThe AL5002 is operated throughout the range 0-2000 ppbv, and its linearity has been demonstrated to 100,000 ppbv (see Publications). The system is therefore calibrated at nominally 500 ppbv, above the level of typical ambient measurements in the free troposphere.\r\nThe manufacturer estimates the instrument precision to be ±1.5 ppbv at 100 ppbv measured CO, and a lowest detection limit of 3 ppbv for 1 Hz data has been documented (see Publications). A 1σ precision of ±2.8 ppbv can be derived from Poisson Statistics of the mean background count rate (~34000 Hz) and nominal sensitivity of 65 Hz/ppbv.\r\nFAAM on-board CO/Air calibration standards are traceable to a NOAA-GMD / WMO 2000 scale CO/Air standard, and are compared several times a year. As a result, overall measurement uncertainties for the FAAM AL5002 CO measurements are estimated to be around ±5%.\r\n\r\nPublications\r\nThe principle and operation of the AL5002 instrument was documented in the following journal paper:\r\nAn improved fast-response vacuum-UV resonance fluorescence CO instrument, Gerbig et al.\r\nJOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 104, NO.

The types of compound measured include:\r\n\r\n• Oxygenated hydrocarbons (e.g. methanol, acetone, acetaldehyde, acetic acid, methyl vinyl ketone and methacrolein)\r\n• Aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, C8 and C9 aromatics)\r\n• Biogenic hydrocarbons (isoprene, total monoterpenes)\r\n• Acetonitrile; an excellent tracer of biomass burning\r\n\r\nThe PTR-MS is ideally suited for use on an aircraft since it produces a near real-time signal. In this way it has a distinct advantage over (and acts as a valuable complement to) traditional chromatographic or bottle sampling techniques. Sampling cycle times of down to ~1 second can be achieved, dependant on the number of compounds analysed at any one time, enabling small scale events such as pollution or biomass burning plumes to be sampled effectively. The instrument samples from the main aircraft inlet manifold via a short length of PFA tubing.\r\n\r\nPotential applications include:\r\n• Measurement of oxygenates in the upper troposphere in a study of the free radical chemistry and its sources in this region\r\n• Studies of oxygenate and isoprene emissions from vegetation in the tropics and at mid latitudes\r\n• Studies of oxygenate formation in urban plumes in the boundary layer for improvement of models of regional photochemistry\r\n• Studies of biomass burning in the tropics and over Northern Hemisphere forests to assess their contribution to the global carbon budget and to ozone formation" }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 5882, "uuid": "bb81ffaf754e45b6b71ddf8d4669bb1b", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Acquisition Process for: Data from the UEA PTRms instrument onboard the FAAM aircraft for the UTLS-ITOP campaign (2004)", "abstract": "This acquisition is comprised of the following: INSTRUMENTS: UEA: Proton Transfer Reaction mass spectrometer (PTRms); PLATFORMS: FAAM BAe-146-301 Large Atmospheric Research Aircraft G-LUXE; " } } ] }, { "ob_id": 5885, "uuid": "9180bb0a41b34fe29f9bbe4f11f805b9", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Acquisition Process for: Data from the FAAM aircraft dropsonde for the UTLS-ITOP campaign (2004)", "abstract": "This acquisition is comprised of the following: INSTRUMENTS: FAAM/BAE systems or other aircraft: Dropsonde; PLATFORMS: FAAM BAe-146-301 Large Atmospheric Research Aircraft G-LUXE; ", "imageDetails": [], "mobilePlatformOperation": [ { "ob_id": 53, "uuid": "d7eea365352547a18b58f128b34099f3", "short_code": "mpop", "title": "Mobile Platform Operation for: FAAM BAe-146-301 Large Atmospheric Research Aircraft G-LUXE", "abstract": "Mobile Platform Operation related to the: FAAM BAe-146-301 Large Atmospheric Research Aircraft G-LUXE" } ], "independentInstrument": [], "instrumentplatformpair_set": [ { "ob_id": 5228, "platform": { "ob_id": 51, "uuid": "dda4596d5d374564acf8c79b7a119127", "short_code": "plat", "title": "FAAM BAe-146-301 Large Atmospheric Research Aircraft G-LUXE", "abstract": "FAAM is the result of a collaboration between the Met Office(TM) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and has been established as part of the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) to provide an aircraft measurement platform for use by all the UK atmospheric research community on campaigns throughout the world.

The temperature of the laser diode is maintained within a narrow range in order to ensure high stability of the emitted wavelength. This allows a very narrow band optical filter to be used at the input to the receiver. The receiver signal amplitude is sampled at time intervals of 50 ns, corresponding to altitude intervals of 7.5 m. Owing to the low power of the transmitter, the receiver signal amplitude for a single pulse backscattered from a high-altitude cloud is not sufficiently large to be distinguished above the noise level. Nevertheless the contribution from cloud backscatter remains coherent from pulse to pulse, whereas that from noise varies randomly. Consequently the detectability of the desired signal can be greatly improved by summing the receiver signal amplitude (separately for each altitude interval) over all pulses within a 15 s interval. Attention is restricted to altitudes below 13.05 km (corresponding to maximum range of detection of 13.00 km - the instrument is at 50 m above mean sea level) since, even after summation, the presence of any clouds which might exist at higher altitudes can only be determined with difficulty.\r\n\r\nThe instrument manufacturer's cloud detection algorithm is applied to the 15 s receiver signal amplitude profiles. It is designed to detect up to three possible cloud layers. For each of these, the altitude (above mean sea level) of the cloud base and the depth to which the laser light penetrates is determined. If the laser light is not able to penetrate the entire depth of a particular cloud layer, missing datum values are given for subsequent layers. If no cloud layer is detected, missing datum values are given for all three layers. In order to distinguish between cloud-free conditions and a lack of observations, attention should be paid to instrument status flag. An estimate is also given of the maximum possible altitude of cloud detection and of the visibility for a human observer looking upwards. The maximum range of cloud detection defaults to 13.05 km under clear sky conditions. A lower value implies that no information may be given on any cloud layers which may exist beyond this altitude. Under such conditions there is also a limit to the visibility for a human observer. Otherwise a missing datum value is given. Finally, an estimate is given of the precipitation rate based on the characteristics of the backscatter profile. A value of 0 implies no precipitation and a value of 3 suggests heavy precipitation." }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 6133, "uuid": "e39f99ec7b1c4245b3eebcbe2a4fcdb7", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Acquisition Process for: Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Mesosphere-Stratosphere-Troposphere (MST) Radar Facility Laser Ceilometer Data", "abstract": "This acquisition is comprised of the following: INSTRUMENTS: NERC MST Radar Facility Vaisala LD40 Laser Ceilometer; PLATFORMS: Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Mesosphere-Stratosphere-Troposphere (MST) Radar Facility, Capel Dewi, UK; " } } ] }, { "ob_id": 6137, "uuid": "50d343d4cfb440a08681351a9f08e243", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Acquisition Process for: Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Mesosphere-Stratosphere-Troposphere (MST) Radar Facility GPS (Global Positioning System) Integrated Water Vapour (IWV) Data", "abstract": "This acquisition is comprised of the following: INSTRUMENTS: NERC MST site: Met Office GPS water vapour receiver; PLATFORMS: Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Mesosphere-Stratosphere-Troposphere (MST) Radar Facility, Capel Dewi, UK; ", "imageDetails": [], "mobilePlatformOperation": [], "independentInstrument": [], "instrumentplatformpair_set": [ { "ob_id": 1851, "platform": { "ob_id": 1017, "uuid": "8b723580e0e5426d888b273e42f76c1b", "short_code": "plat", "title": "NCAS Capel Dewi Atmospheric Observatory (CDAO)", "abstract": "The National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) Capel Dewi Atmospheric Observatory (CDAO) is situated in a rural valley location (52.4245°N, -4.0055°E) 6 km inland from the coastal town of Aberystwyth in west Wales, UK.

Since the movement of water vapour can transport latent heat and moisture considerable distances, and since water vapour is an important greenhouse gas, knowledge of its distribution throughout the atmosphere is of considerable interest for both numerical weather prediction and climate applications. A new technique to measure the integrated water vapour (IWV) relies on the delay of radio signals received from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites.

They purchased 4 of their own boundary-layer wind-profilers (2 operating at 915 MHz and 2 at 1290 MHz), from Radian, in the late 1990's. One of these (a 915 MHz instrument) was operated at the NERC MST Radar site between 17th November 1999 and 11th March 2002; it has now been relocated to South Uist. These instrument make observations in two interlaced modes; the low mode covers the approximate altitude range 0.1 - 2.0 km at 0.1 km intervals, and the high mode covers the approximate altitude range 0.2 - 8.0 km at 0.2 km intervals. The useful altitude coverage varies with atmospheric conditions and only extends significantly above 2 km when precipitation is present.
