Chemical characterisation of aerosol measurements and flask sampling of greenhouse gases began in November 2006, halocarbon measurements in May 2007, and physical measurements of aerosol in June 2008. On-line measurements of greenhouse gases began in October 2008.\r\n\r\nThe CVAO is a World Meteorological Organisation-Global Atmospheric Watch (WMO-GAW) global station and quality-assured atmospheric data for use by both UK and German scientists, and the wider international community are regularly deposited at both the WMO-GAW and Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) data archives. The Universities of York, Bristol and Leeds provide the CVAO trace gas measurements, supported by the Natural Environmental Research Council (NERC) through the Atmospheric Measurement & Observation Facility (AMOF). The Max-Planck-Institut für Biogeochemie, Jena, Germany (MPIB Jena) make the greenhouse gas measurements, and the Leibniz-Institut für Troposphärenforschung, Leipzig, Germany (IfT) measure various characteristics of aerosol. Collaboration is also with the Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia e Geofísica, São Vicente (INMG), who provide logistical support and employ staff at the CVAO. The sister ocean site is a partnership of the Instituto Nacional de Desenvolvimento das Pescas, São Vicente (INDP), and the Leibniz-Institut für Meereswissenschaften, Kiel, Germany (IfM-GEOMAR Kiel). Scientific activities at both sites are coordinated in collaboration with the above institutions." }, "instrument": { "ob_id": 905, "uuid": "bfec242b35524bbe9dff61765e755271", "short_code": "instr", "title": "Cape Verde Atmospheric Observatory: Chemiluminescence NO, NO2, NOy detector", "abstract": "This Air Quality Design NOxy instrument is a single channel, chemiluminescence NO detector with a photolytic NO2 converter (diode based blue light converter (BLC) Droplet Measurement Technologies) and a Molybdenum catalyst NOy converter (Thermo Electron Industries).
