Atmospheric mercury measurements onboard the CARIBIC passenger aircraft
Goal of the project CARIBIC (Civil Aircraft for the Regular Investigation of the atmosphere Based on an Instrumented Container) is to carry out regular and detailed observations of atmospheric composition (particles and gases) at cruising altitudes of passenger aircraft, i.e. at 9–12 km. M...

| description | Goal of the project CARIBIC (Civil Aircraft for the Regular Investigation of
the atmosphere Based on an Instrumented Container) is to carry out regular
and detailed observations of atmospheric composition (particles and gases)
at cruising altitudes of passenger aircraft, i.e. at 9–12 km. Mercury has
been measured since May 2005 by a modified Tekran instrument
(Tekran Model 2537 A analyser, Tekran Inc., Toronto, Canada) during monthly
intercontinental flights between Europe and South and North America, Africa,
and Asia. Here we describe the instrument modifications, the post-flight
processing of the raw instrument signal, and the fractionation experiments. |
