The data from the instrument are split (across three seperate files: -fid1, -fid2, -fid3) according to compound type. The output for -fid1 is Alkanes.\r\n\r\nThe instrument has variable measurement frequency dependent upon sampling frequency of the Whole Air Sampling (WAS) system.\r\n\r\nSamples of air are dried, and then pre-concentrated on a dual-bed adsorbent trap held at sub-ambient temperature (typically -20°C). Sample volumes of up to one litre of air are acquired and then the trap is resistively heated during desorption within a stream of helium (or hydrogen) and injected into the GC oven for analysis. The eluent is split in approximately equal portions between a Na2SO4 deactivated aluminium oxide (Al2O3) porous layer open tubular (PLOT) column (50 m, 0.53 mm id, Varian Netherlands) for analysis of the less polar NMHCs and a LOWOX columns (10 m, 0.53 mm id, Varian Netherlands) for analysis of the more polar VOCs including monoterpenes and oxygenated species. Analytes elute from the GC columns into two flame ionisation detectors for detection. The GC oven has been programmed for optimal separation of all compounds of interest. \r\n\r\nThere are two near-identical GC instruments for the measurement of Volatile organic compounds. The first is a Perkin Elmer GC with home-built autosampler and flow control box, a home-built preconcentrator and an Ai Qualitek injector. The other is an Agilent GC with a MARKES UNITY2 preconcentrator and CIA Advantage autosampler. \r\n\r\nMeasurement of VOCs in the atmosphere have been used for a wide range of applications including providing information regarding: quantification of emissions; air mass age; and atmospheric processing during transport."

Both sensors employ similar inlets to draw flow across a sensor (either a platinum PRT or glass bead thermistor) using inlets that have been designed to minimise water and particle ingress, as well as minimising interaction of the air with the inlet walls. \r\n\r\nThe deiced sensor contains a heater operated by the flight manager when icing is suspected (a correction is automatically applied to data during these periods). \r\n\r\nThe specific type of sensor used dictates the response time, for details see FAAM document FAAM013001A.\r\n\r\nThe data frequency is measured in 32 Hz. This frequency can be found in the full 32Hz core data file, or as 1 Hz in 1Hz data file.

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. These have been used since late 2016, The old style have a single LWC element and separate references for the LWC and TWC elements. The TWC element is the 60° deep-cone type.\r\n\r\nThe instrument is mounted to the FAAM Bae-146, close to the nose on the starboard side of the fuselage."

                "abstract": "FAAM Core instrument measuring Carbon monoxide (CO). Aerolaser AL5002 Used pre May 2011\r\n\r\nAL 5002 VUV Fast Fluorescence CO Analyser\r\nThe AL5002 (s/n 127) is a commercial gas analyser produced by Aerolaser GmbH.\r\nThe analyser employs the measurement of the fluorescence of CO when exposed to UV light at a wavelength of 150nm, which is proportional to the concentration of CO.\r\n\r\nAmbient air is drawn into the cabin from the starboard air sample pipe (port #11) along several meters of 1/8\" od PFA line at a flowrate of approximately 180 ml/min, by means of a vacuum pump (Vaccubrand model MV2) . The air is then dried using a Perma Pure Nafion gas dryer (model MD-110-24P) prior to the detector. 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.

Both sensors employ similar inlets to draw flow across a sensor (either a platinum PRT or glass bead thermistor) using inlets that have been designed to minimise water and particle ingress, as well as minimising interaction of the air with the inlet walls. \r\n\r\nThe deiced sensor contains a heater operated by the flight manager when icing is suspected (a correction is automatically applied to data during these periods). \r\n\r\nThe specific type of sensor used dictates the response time, for details see FAAM document FAAM013001A.\r\n\r\nThe data frequency is measured in 32 Hz. This frequency can be found in the full 32Hz core data file, or as 1 Hz in 1Hz data file.

Ice water content (IWC) can be calculated, being the difference between these two quantities. The detection elements are mounted on a vane that self-aligns with the airflow. 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. These have been used since late 2016, The old style have a single LWC element and separate references for the LWC and TWC elements. The TWC element is the 60° deep-cone type.\r\n\r\nThe instrument is mounted to the FAAM Bae-146, close to the nose on the starboard side of the fuselage."

The AMS couples size-resolved particle sampling and mass spectrometric techniques into a single real-time measurement system. The Aerodyne AMS has been deployed world-wide at fixed sites, and on mobile laboratory, ship and aircraft platforms. Over 100 instruments are in use in industrial, academic and government laboratories.\r\n\r\nScientifically, the instrument can deliver quantitative mass concentrations of the major non-refractory chemical species present in submicron particles (ammonium, nitrate, sulphate, organics and non-sea-salt chloride) in microgrammes per cubic metre. It is also capable of delivering these concentrations as a function of diameter as a dM/dlog(D) distribution. Further to this, information on the chemical nature of the organic fraction can be derived by inspecting the relative sizes of the peaks within the mass spectrum. In order to produce fully quality assured and meaningful results, the data must be processed offline or near-real-time. The Compact Time-of-Flight AMS (C-ToF-AMS) is a version that enables continuous acquisition of complete mass spectra (1-800 m/z) of all sampled particles at rates as fast as 80 kHz."

The CPI may be used in much higher particle concentrations, but under these conditions while particle spectra are reliable, absolute particle concentrations are not due to coincidence errors in the particle detection system. While designed for aircraft use, and able to operate at any aircraft speed and altitude, the CPI, with the use of a suitable aspiration device may also be used for ground based, or lab studies. The University of Manchester and UFAM (Universities' Facility for Atmospheric Measurements) operated this instrument."

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.

Sample volumes of up to one litre of air are acquired and then the trap is resistively heated during desorption within a stream of helium (or hydrogen) and injected into the GC oven for analysis. The eluent is split in approximately equal portions between a Na2SO4 deactivated aluminium oxide (Al2O3) porous layer open tubular (PLOT) column (50 m, 0.53 mm id, Varian Netherlands) for analysis of the less polar NMHCs and a LOWOX columns (10 m, 0.53 mm id, Varian Netherlands) for analysis of the more polar VOCs including monoterpenes and oxygenated species. Analytes elute from the GC columns into two flame ionisation detectors for detection.

The This instrument is regularly used on the FAAM BAe 146 research aircraft. \r\n\r\nThe outputs include: the mixing ratio of peroxy acetyl nitrate (PAN).\r\n\r\nAir samples are drawn from the main sampling manifold of the aircraft via a metal bellows pump (outlet pressure of 15 psi). Containing a dual channel separation and detection system with staggered loop injection, this instrument achieves a time resolution of 90 s and a detection limit (concentration corresponding to a signal three times the noise level of the background) of 5 pptV. The expanded uncertainty of the measurements (± 2 σ) for atmospheric mixing ratios in the low pptV to mixing ratios at the ppbV level is less than 5 % on both channels. \r\n\r\nWithin the instrument, air is drawn into one of two thermostated and pressure-monitored 2 ml sample loops by a small diaphragm pump housed within the GC. Each analysis channel is equipped with a fused silica capillary column system comprising a 10 m pre-column and a 30 m analytical column (both columns have a 0.53 mm i.d. SPB-5, 1.5 micron film thickness). An electrically-actuated 10-port valve provides a back-flush facility from the pre-column, ensuring that more retained compounds do not enter the analytical column and interfere with subsequent analyses. After 90 s flushing, the analytes in the sample loop are swept onto each column in a flow of argon carrier gas. Both the column system and sample loops are thermostated in a Peltier cooled oven at 25 ºC. The instrument is equipped with two ECDs mounted in a thermostated enclosure at 50 ºC. Argon gas is also used as the ECD make-up gas. Moisture is added to the Argon gas line via a hydrated copper sulphate trap which helps to improve the baseline stability. \r\n\r\n"

This is a UFAM instrument operated by the University of Salford, UK. The instrument is a 1.55 μm eye-safe (Class 1M) scanning micro pulsed LiDAR providing profiles of aerosol backscatter coefficient (β) in units of m-1 sr-1 and radial velocity in ms-1 at user specified azimuth and elevation angles. This system has additional Doppler and depolarisation channels. A three point scanning algorithm is supplied for automated wind profile measurement: profiles of wind speed and direction can be obtained at a minimum of once every two minutes. Signal analysis, data retrievals, and data storage are performed by a PC system on-board the instrument. Users can operate the instrument remotely via the internet (not wireless) that is: users can program custom scan patterns and monitor performance. The operational software allows the user to test out head positions for a scan, level the instrument, and schedule how often the LiDAR comes out of its default operation (vertical observation or STARE Mode) to perform an operation. An internal GPS provides accurate system timing and instrument position while the extended temperature facility provides an operational temperature range of -20°C to 40°C: at temperature > 40°C this the system will automatically shutdown.\r\n\r\nThis instrument was subsequently converted into the instrument now operated by NCAS AMF as their Halo Doppler Lidar no 1."

The platform aircraft, based at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, Calif., collects data for many experiments in support of scientific projects serving the world scientific community.\r\nThe NASA DC-8-72 is a four-engine jet transport aircraft that has been highly modified to support the Agency's Airborne Science mission. The aircraft, acquired in 1985, is 157 feet long with a 148-foot wingspan. It can fly at altitudes from 1,000 to 42,000 feet for up to 12 hours, although most science missions average six to 10 hours. The aircraft has a range of 5,400 nautical miles. The DC-8 can carry 30,000 pounds of scientific instruments and equipment.\r\n\r\nAmong the aircraft's features are wing pylons (for aerosol sampling), a gyro-stabilized pointing and tracking mirror system, a dropsonde delivery tube, atmospheric chemistry sampling probes, and several reinforced ports that accept experiments pointing in virtually any direction. Experiment support facilities include weather radar, an integrated navigation management system, a satellite-based time code generator, a stand-alone Global Positioning System, and a weather satellite receiver system. Each experiment is supported by an information collection and transmission system providing navigation, aircraft conditions, and environmental data measured by facility sensors."

                "abstract": "The NCAS AMOF Degreane Mobile Wind Profiler was designed and manufactured by Degreane Horizon. It is a clear-air UHF Doppler radar system operating at 1290 MHz to measure signal intensity and wind speed and direction under all weather conditions. At this frequency clear-air scattering (from refractive index inhomogeneities) dominates the radar signal return in the absence of hydrometeors, and the signal power is a measure of turbulent intensity. \r\n\r\nThe wind profiler consists of three panels to emit and receive three separate beams, a vertical beam from the central panel and two other beams orthogonal to the central beam at an elevation of 73 degrees to enable full wind vectors to be calculated. Each panel is an array of eight aerials, each consisting of an assembly of eight collinear dipoles. \r\n\r\nThe radar is usually operated in two modes: a low altitude mode with a 1000 ns pulse and a high altitude mode with a 2500 ns pulse. The radar typically returns wind profiles from around 100 to 2500 m and can be used to measure the depth of the convective boundary layer and the position of atmospheric convective \"lids\".

The platform aircraft, based at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, Calif., collects data for many experiments in support of scientific projects serving the world scientific community.\r\nThe NASA DC-8-72 is a four-engine jet transport aircraft that has been highly modified to support the Agency's Airborne Science mission. The aircraft, acquired in 1985, is 157 feet long with a 148-foot wingspan. It can fly at altitudes from 1,000 to 42,000 feet for up to 12 hours, although most science missions average six to 10 hours. The aircraft has a range of 5,400 nautical miles. The DC-8 can carry 30,000 pounds of scientific instruments and equipment.\r\n\r\nAmong the aircraft's features are wing pylons (for aerosol sampling), a gyro-stabilized pointing and tracking mirror system, a dropsonde delivery tube, atmospheric chemistry sampling probes, and several reinforced ports that accept experiments pointing in virtually any direction. Experiment support facilities include weather radar, an integrated navigation management system, a satellite-based time code generator, a stand-alone Global Positioning System, and a weather satellite receiver system. Each experiment is supported by an information collection and transmission system providing navigation, aircraft conditions, and environmental data measured by facility sensors."
