Problems and Methods of Trace Gas Measurements in the Troposphere

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((ASIC,volume 96))

Abstract

The large number of measuring techniques for tropospheric trace gases may be divided into two categories: Continuously working methods where atmospheric air is led through an observation chamber and traces of the gas under investigation are detected by a physical effect which is proportional to the concentration; and Discontinuously working trapping methods, including a sampling procedure which traps and enriches the desired trace gas with a chemical reaction, when atmospheric air is led through an absorption medium. Afterwards the amount of collected substance is determined by a conventional analytical method. Advantages and disadvantages of both categories are discussed in reference to examples of their application.
