The production of ozone is controlled by NOx and its reservoir concentrations. Here will be described a new instrument to measure NO2 directly and selectively and RO2NO2 and RONO2 after thermal dissociation into NO2. This instrument has been used during the multi-investigator study, OP3, which took place in the Borneo forest (Malaysia) in July 2008. The concentrations of NO2 were very low (less 1 ppbv) as well as ozone (less than 20 ppbv).

Abstract

The production of ozone is controlled by NOx and its reservoir concentrations. Here will be described a new instrument to measure NO2 directly and selectively and RO2NO2 and RONO2 after thermal dissociation into NO2. This instrument has been used during the multi-investigator study, OP3, which took place in the Borneo forest (Malaysia) in July 2008. The concentrations of NO2 were very low (less 1 ppbv) as well as ozone (less than 20 ppbv). The implications of NO2, RO2NO2 and RONO2 observations on the ozone production in a clean remote environment will be discussed.
