Deployment of a Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometer during the NOPP Calspan Chamber Experiments
Abstract
LONG-TERM GOALS. The long-term goal of this research is to develop a detailed understanding of the photochemical processes leading to formation and destruction of tropospheric free radicals, and their interaction with sulfur and other cycles to lead to products such as aerosols and acids. OBJECTIVES. This research will focus on development of modern instrumentation to make free radical measurements aboard aircraft platforms, at ground-level sites and in laboratory situations. These instruments will then be deployed to collect free radical concentrations at a variety of atmospheric environments including both polluted and background regimes. This includes planning and development of new measurement programs as well as participation in programs initiated by other researchers and institutions. The important part of the research, though, is the analysis and interpretation of the measured quantities that leads to new understanding and impetus for further study.
