Measurement of ambient NO<sub>3</sub> reactivity: design, characterization and first deployment of a new instrument

Measurement of ambient NO<sub>3</sub> reactivity: design, characterization and first deployment of a new instrument

We describe the first instrument for measurement of the rate constant (s<sup>−1</sup>) for reactive loss (i.e., the total reactivity) of NO<sub>3</sub> in ambient air. Cavity-ring-down spectroscopy is used to monitor the mixing ratio of synthetically generated NO<sub>3&...
